There’s nothing quite like winter in New Zealand. Snow-capped peaks, glassy mirror lakes and the kind of light that takes your breath away.
Spend five action packed days in the field with me this winter as we will travel to some of my favourite South Island locations. I will shoot alongside you, showing you my techniques for getting the shot and what I look for in a scene.
Immerse yourself in epic landscapes, connect with like-minded creatives and learn skills to elevate your photography and videography in one of the world’s most photogenic regions!
Welcome to Queenstown!
I recommend arriving in Queenstown on Thursday 14th August or first thing on Friday 15th before 10am.
After everyone arrives we will head for a welcome brunch so you can get to meet the fellow members of the trip.
Mount Aspiring Scenic Flight
Watch the sun break from behind Mt. Aspiring, New Zealand’s highest mountain outside the Aoraki/Mount Cook Region. Top tip – wear black or dark clothing to avoid reflections in your photos.
I will also brief you the previous evening and mid flight on what gear and techniques to use for aerial photography to make sure you walk away with the best possible images from this once in a lifetime flight.
Creative Masterclass
Enjoy a delicious brunch as we take some time to review and edit your content from the trip. I will provide one-on-one guidance answering all of your questions. We'll also dive into the essential business aspects of being a creative.
Photo editing masterclass - Advanced Lightroom, Photoshop and Luminar Neo editing techniques from importing to exporting.
Gaining clients - I’ll share how I find and attract new clients.
