Car surfing, bees, fires, rugby and Batman: Pictures that told a thousand words from June and July

Stuff

Stuff visual journalists understand the power of a great photograph and our team across Aotearoa works hard to bring the most important events to life for you through their frames.

The art of photography has been around for about 200 years, and today our phones are flooded with them.

Before, we used to collect them in photo albums with every image recalling a time, an event, an experience, an emotion. This is still the art in news photography.

Here are 25 amazing photos from June and July, as taken by Stuff’s team across Aotearoa:
