New Zealand winter photography, there’s something truly magical about winter in the South Island. For a photographer, winter creates an opportunity to capture endless unique beauty within the landscape. The dramatic transformations that occur across the land provide an ideal canvas for depicting stunning winter scenes. Here at New Zealand Photography Workshops, rather than making hay while the sun shines, we capture winter while the snow falls!
Discover and photograph the awe-inspiring beauty of New Zealand’s winter landscapes. Get tips and inspiration from some of New Zealand’s top photographers.
If you would like to experience the very best of winter, join us in 2026 on our Winter Landscapes Photography Tour, to journey through some of the best winter photography destinations in New Zealand!
Capturing winter is not just about taking pictures; it’s about embracing the season’s unique beauty and finding inspiration in its challenges. New Zealand’s winter offers endless opportunities for creativity and storytelling. So, grab your camera, bundle up, and let us help guide your lens, to capture the very best of winter.
I just want to let you know how well the tour went. Ken and Glen were brilliant throughout. Both were extremely helpful, considerate and full of humour. They had to make decisions along the way due to weather changes and different environments, and it all went off smoothly.
I am looking forward to returning to Mt White in November. I’ve just got to review my wardrobe to see what orange garments I can find
Richard and the Team have a great relationship with the team at Mt White which made for great experiences, the weather played the part too. Great space to work in and good structure of lessons that took us on a journey.
I have been on three previous workshops and have been impressed with the tuition, that attention to detail and the fun with other like minded people. The tutors I have had so far have been very good. I know my photography and my way of seeing things has improved dramatically.
