New Zealand South Island Winter Photography Workshop 12th-28th July 2027
With Craig Williams & John Armytage
Experience New Zealand’s South Island in winter on a 10-day / 9-night boutique photography journey through some of the country’s most striking alpine landscapes.
With only six participants, this workshop is designed to provide exceptional access to award-winning photographers Craig Williams and John Armytage, combining decades of professional experience with deep local knowledge of New Zealand’s South Island.
You’ll benefit from direct, on-location guidance throughout, with a focus on refining your approach, strengthening your images, and working more intentionally in the field.
This is a considered photographic journey — one that prioritises quality, simplicity, and the opportunity to develop your work in a truly remarkable environment.
