    Become a better photographer.

    Choosing the right New Zealand Photography Workshop makes all the difference to growing as a photographer. On our workshops you will enjoy inspiring one-on-one photographic instruction as you capture New Zealand’s iconic landscapes and also incredible off-the-beaten-track locations. Since pioneering NZ photography workshops and tours back in 2005 we continue to provide the most exciting and original photo expeditions in New Zealand, making each adventure as memorable as it is fun.

    Our photo workshops are led by Phillip Bartlett, a New Zealand-born professional landscape photographer. His intimate knowledge of the landscape gained from almost two decades of photographing in all seasons means that you will photograph spectacular locations at the most productive times. Phillip’s patient, good-natured style will inspire and equip you to challenge yourself to become a better photographer. Reviews from previous workshop participants will give you an idea of what to expect on our workshops.

    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, and non-photographers are also welcome. We look forward to photographing with you very soon.

    • "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.

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.
