Hard on the Heels: Peter Bush Capturing the All Blacks — Wellington

The Hard on the Heels exhibition in Wellington is drawn from rugby photographer Peter Bush's vast library of photographs — including personal favourites and the controversial and candid behind-the-scenes shots.

New Zealand's leading rugby photographer, Peter Bush, describes capturing an All Black game as "a total workout".

His powerful photographs are hard-won: the result of chasing the game up and down the field, while others set up their cameras and wait for the game to come to them.

Featuring over 100 images of great All Black moments, games and players over a 60-year period.The Hard on the Heels exhibition at the Museum of Wellington City and Sea  is drawn from Bush's vast library of photographs and features personal favourites, the controversial and contentious, alongside humorous, candid behind-the-scenes shots.

Created especially to commemorate New Zealand's hosting of the Rugby World Cup 2011, this exhibition is a must-see for all Kiwis and for rugby fans visiting Wellington.

Events will include an evening with Peter Bush and guests.
