Our New Zealand Photography Workshops are based in Queenstown and are offered as 'on demand' Premium Landscape Photography Workshops organised to suit your exact Photography needs, in advance of your holiday.

"This is where I grew up and now I look forward to sharing my passion for teaching Photography in this beautiful part of the world".

You Choose between either a 3 or 5 day 'one on one' Photography Workshop.

What ever length of Photography Workshop you choose, we will look after all your Photography needs by taking you to remote locations that will amaze your artistic creativity and there we will teach you Professional Photography techniques to help you get more out of your Photography. This is a unique oportunity to be taught 'one on one' by a Profesional Photographer amongst breathtaking scenery.

Each day I will take you to many remote locations within the 'Southern lakes District'. Some of the areas we will encounter can be seen in Hollywood blockbuster movies such as the 'Lord of the Rings trilogy'. This region is often refered to as 'Middle Earth', because of its untouched natural wonders.

In the evening (after each incredible day of Photography) we return back to Queenstown, where you can still have the night free to continue taking photos while learning about 'Night photography'. I have also organised 'Night Photograpy Workshops', or you can just relax and enjoy Queenstown's "Culinary delights" on your own.

What is also unique about this Photography Workshop is that we are allowing a maximum of only 3 persons on the tour. The reason for this is to offer a 'Premium Workshop and Tour' with the highest level of customer service to each of our customers, giving you our complete personal attention allowing you to get the most out of your Photography Workshop and holiday. Your next decision is if you wish to share this experience or have it all to yourself.

We can also organise a Photography Workshop to suit other locations within the South Island of New Zealand. (thats if you are not visiting Queenstown).  Theres even the option of an extended duration of a 7 day or longer Workshop for those who want to see even more of this amazing country and learn more with their camera.

(We do know the South Island well!)
