New Plymouth District Council's (NPDC) city entrance signs have been upgraded to showcase the beauty of the region, with the help of a local teenage photographer.
Shawn Peng's Te Rewa Rewa Bridge image is now displayed on the six by four-metre signs at the gateway to the city, near the corner of Mangorei Rd/Junction Rd and Airport Dr/Devon Rd.
The 18-year old's passion for photography has put him on the road to success capturing Taranaki landscapes, events and people.
His work has already been showcased on the front cover of Live Magazine as well as winning second place in the Stills National Photography Competition and third in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Photography Competition.
"It is an absolute honour to have my work displayed locally and I'm excited for what the future holds for me along this creative path," says Peng. "I am very fortunate to live in New Plymouth, with the mountain and surf on my doorstep, to photograph and explore."
