New Zealand - Canterbury and Mackenzie Backcountry Beauty

Are you ready to capture the raw, untouched beauty of New Zealand's backcountry? Join us for an exclusive 6-day landscape photography workshop in the heart of the stunning Mackenzie and Ashburton Lakes regions in Canterbury. With rugged mountains, serene lakes, vast tussock lands, and rolling farms, this is the quintessential New Zealand landscape, offering inspiration for photographers at every level. Nestled against the majestic Southern Alps, this area is rarely visited by tourists, providing pristine, unspoiled scenery and the opportunity to experience a true wilderness retreat.

You’ll be mentored by two highly skilled, professional guides with decades of experience navigating New Zealand’s backcountry. We will not only help you enhance your photography skills but also share our deep knowledge of the land, ensuring you gain both technical expertise and a richer understanding of the region. We also have exclusive access to New Zealand’s protected conservation parks, as we hold the necessary permits from the Department of Conservation (DOC), ensuring that you can photograph some of the country’s most pristine and untouched wilderness areas.

This carefully curated experience is designed to make the most of the area's unique conditions, allowing you to photograph snow-capped mountains, misty valleys, and tranquil lakes in all their glory. There's even the possibility of snow on the ground, creating a truly magical atmosphere. It’s the ideal setting for capturing striking, atmospheric images with depth that showcase the very best of New Zealand's diverse topography.

You’ll not only refine your photography skills but also immerse yourself in an unforgettable adventure in one of the world’s most remote and peaceful corners. If you want to photograph a spectacular, off-the-beaten-path region with minimal distractions, this workshop is for you. Don’t miss out—join us in one of the most breathtaking photography locations on the planet!
