New Zealand Geographic Young Photographer of the Year 2016 Talman Madsen spent all of January watching sunrises and sunsets in New Zealand. There are worse jobs.
Auckland-based Madsen, 24, would wake as early as 3am to drive or hike to a location around the North Island. "In total I spent around four hours in the morning and another four hours at night to shoot the sunrise and sunset," Madsen told BuzzFeed.
He said the exercise encouraged him to think creatively so he could show his hometown in a different light.
