Whether you are an experienced photographer or just beginning your journey, I can help you achieve your goals through my straightforward and fun teaching approach to capturing stunning landscapes and nightscapes.

 

You won’t be overwhelmed with complex technical jargon or left behind in the post-processing stage. Instead, I will guide you through my proven methods, refined over years of experience in both fieldwork and digital editing, to help you achieve the results you desire.

 

As a fiercely proud, born and bred West Coaster, I take great pleasure in showcasing not only my own spectacular region but also the breath-taking landscapes of the entire South Island. Our journey will include both iconic locations and hidden gems known only to locals—often without another soul to be seen.

 

My workshops and private tours are conducted with responsibility and, most importantly, safety in mind. As a founder and co-owner of Southern Photography Adventures Ltd, we operate under a Department of Conservation concession for numerous locations across the South Island. This concession is obtained through rigorous compliance measures, ensuring our legal and sustainable access to public conservation land. Additionally, our comprehensive Safety Management Plan is audited annually by The Register of Outdoor Safety Auditors, offering clients confidence in our professionalism and commitment to their well-being.

 

With a background in hospitality, I strive to provide not only a hands-on, immersive learning experience but also a well-organized, stress-free and comfortable adventure. Small group sizes ensure each participant receives ample one-on-one tuition, allowing for a truly personalized and enriching experience.
