About the event

Join me for an action-packed Mountain Bike (MTB) photography workshop, where you'll hear from industry experts and gain hands-on experience shooting athletes in the beautiful Whakarewarewa Forest.

The day will kick off with insightful talks on gear preparation, creating compelling narratives through your images, and building meaningful relationships within the MTB community. Special guest John Colthorpe will share his expertise on creating dynamic video content for action sports, while Clair Scott will discuss the MTB Club and the Trails Trust, and how their work helps maintain the forest and how we can best support them. After these discussions, we’ll head into the forest for a practical shoot.

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this workshop will provide you with the tools and inspiration to elevate your MTB photography.
