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.

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.
