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/Mt. 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 areal 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 & edit your content from the trip. I will provide hands on one on one guidance answering all of your questions & dive into the essential business aspects of being a creative.


Photo editing masterclass – Advance Lightroom, photoshop & Luminar Neo editing techniques from import to exporting.


Gaining clients – I’ll share my in’s and out’s of how I find and attract new clients.


Creating media kits and pitch decks


Building your personal brand


Storytelling Techniques



Fiordland




  • Spend 2 nights in Fiordland national park


    Drive the Milford road into Fiordland national park stopping at various points along the way.




  • Hike into Lake Marian


    One of my favourite hikes in Fiordland, hike through beautiful forests to an alpine lake in a secluded hanging valley.




  • Key Summit Hike


    A short but rewarding alpine nature walk with stunning panoramic views over the Humboldt and Darran Mountains




  • Milford sound boat cruise


    No trip to Milford is complete until you’ve spent the afternoon on the waters of Milford sound.


    After returning from our boat we will capture sunset on the shores.
