CAPTURE NEW ZEALAND PHOTO EXPEDITIONS

    From our simple start back in 2005 pioneering photo workshop programs in New Zealand we now have the reputation as New Zealand’s premier photography workshop and photo tour company. Our photo workshops are led by Phillip Bartlett,  a New Zealand-born professional landscape photographer with almost 20 years experience. Phillip’s patient, down-to-earth style will inspire and equip you to push the boundaries with your photography to a new dynamic level.   Reviews from previous workshop participants will give you an idea of life on a workshop.

    We also partner with leading international photographers and photo workshop companies including the highly-regarded US-based Visionary Wild, and world-acclaimed polar photographer and expedition leader Joshua Holko.

    Every workshop is open to photographers of all skill levels, as well as non-photographers who regularly join their photographer partner or friend. The inclusive and positive atmosphere we enjoy together makes the journey as memorable as the photography we experience. You are most welcome to be a part of any of our workshops and we look forward to photographing with you very soon.

    LATEST UPDATE 12 JUNE 2020
    Greetings all! Hard to believe that we are almost halfway through the year. So far, 2020 has been a tough road for so many, but thankfully New Zealand is now back to Level 1. Time for the re-build to begin. Our 2020 New Zealand photo workshop schedule has fallen victim to the pandemic-induced travel restrictions so we will be announcing a range of new, shorter-duration workshops to encourage hibernating photographers to dust off their cameras and get back out into the field.
    We have just posted the South Island Spring 5-day workshop, listed below, with three dates currently scheduled. A 2-day extension to the Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park is also available.
    Acknowledging that we are all in this together we are offering these trips with lower-than-normal fees. The flow-on effect is that the workshops will stimulate economic support for the owners and staff of the cafes, restaurants, hotels/motels, and other providers we have had the pleasure to partner with for many years.
    We are looking forward to getting out in the landscape again very soon – hope you can join us!

    • "I have participated in a number of photo workshops both in the USA and overseas, and this particular trip is the best I have attended. Phillip has worked hard to develop a great itinerary for his guests, including good food and outstanding coffee. He is always ready with advice when in the field; I came home with a number of outstanding images." E. Hartmann, USA.
    • "I've attended multiple photography workshops in different countries, and Phillip is definitely one of the best photographers I've had the privilege to work with. At each location Phillip gave individual attention to each photographer's composition, giving advise and the rationale for it. I was amazed at Phillip's compositional eye as he immediately saw what needed to be corrected when he looked at my LCD monitor. " H. Chen, USA.
    • "This was one of the best photographic workshops I have ever attended anywhere in the world. Phillip worked individually with each one of us to help get the best composition and taught us how to think outside of 'the photographic box'." Dr L. Korpeck, USA.
    • "In 2018 I will be attending my sixth workshop with Phillip Bartlett. I think that says it all." B. Knott, Australia.
    • "Your careful planning and knowledge of this beautiful island we explored together, paired with your professional know-how has given me invaluable memories for a long time to come. I enjoyed the time together immensely, could take home pictures and experiences I could never have made without you." A. Bulato, Switzerland.
    • "First class all the way. Phillip Bartlett was outstanding in providing knowledgeable and valuable input to us on the landscape on the areas visited on the South Island. Phillip is a masterful photographer so he not only knows the art but knows all the wonderful places to visit...a spectacular experience." D. Merrow, Professional Photographer, Canada.
    • "Your Expedition was everything I could have asked for. Your assistance with composition and shooting locations made every shoot a winner. This was by far the best Photo Expedition/Workshop/Tour that I have been on. Yours is now the gold standard of workshops that all others will be judged by." David K, USA.
    • "The best landscape photo experience I've had across four continents." J. Luttmer, USA.
