Landscape Photography
Workshops & Tours
Small-group photography workshops in New Zealand & worldwide
Improve your photography in some of the world’s most incredible landscapes
Join me for small-group landscape photography and astrophotography workshops in New Zealand and around the world, designed to help you improve your photography while experiencing incredible locations.
In New Zealand, I run photography workshops and tours in Aoraki/Mount Cook, Twizel and Lake Tekapo, Queenstown and Wānaka, Fiordland, the West Coast and other locations throughout the country. I also lead international photography tours to destinations including Iceland, Japan, the Dolomites and Slovenia, and Antarctica.
Practical Hands-on Tuition
I'm an award-winning professional landscape photographer and Sony Digital Imaging Ambassador, and my workshops combine plenty of time photographing in the field with practical, hands-on tuition.
Depending on the workshop, we'll cover composition, camera settings, filters, long exposures, exposure bracketing, panoramas, astrophotography and Lightroom and Photoshop post-processing techniques.
I hold a Department of Conservation (DOC) concession, allowing me to professionally guide photography groups on approved public conservation land throughout New Zealand.
Small Groups, Individual Support
My workshops cater for a range of photography experience levels, and with small group sizes, I can provide individual help based on your experience and what you'd most like to improve. You don't need to photograph with Sony equipment to attend, although you’ll have opportunities to try selected Sony cameras and lenses.
Workshops are also supported by Kase Filters NZ, giving you the opportunity to learn how neutral-density and graduated filters can elevate your landscape photography.
