Photography Workshops

Our Workshops

At New Zealand Photography Workshops, our four and five-day workshops develop your photography in inspiring New Zealand locations, taught in the field by professional photography tutors across a range of topics — from light and composition to black and white, wildlife and fine art printing. Groups are small, with one or two tutors depending on the workshop and usually four guests per tutor, never more than five, so your tutors can meet you where you are and help you get the most from every location. Photographers of all levels are welcome.

What our guests say…

  • “

    The workshop was great.  Gail is so inspiring and very focused on the participants.  We had a fabulous group of people and I thoroughly enjoyed their company.

    The locations were perfect, accommodation and meals great.  I would definitely recommend your company/workshops to other photographers.

    Have now done a masterclass and a tour. Both were fantastic. The masterclass to Mount Cook covered so much and despite changeable weather the guides found great places to shoot. The tuition and advice was first class. Would highly recommend it and I’ll be booking another one.

    Highly recommend these wonderful workshops. Glen Howey and Shaun Barnett were fantastic! They are highly passionate in teaching and sharing knowledge and we felt very well looked after throughout the trip. I just came back from the recent Astro/Winter Landscape masterclass and am about to book my next one!
