Seascape Photographic Adventures

We are based in Kuaotunu on the Coromandel Peninsula, one of New Zealand’s most beautiful locations. It is a long peninsula of extinct volcanoes that boasts stunning coastlines, deserted beaches, rare birds and lush green native forest.

Our photography workshops range from 1 to 4 days long. You will visit amazing locations and get hands on experience capturing striking images of a beautiful and very photogenic part of New Zealand. The emphasis is very much on learning and taking pictures in the field.

The workshops are aimed at all levels of experience from beginner to expert. Whether you want to become more proficient at using your camera and equipment, develop your compositional skills and use of light or simply want to be guided to a series of hand picked locations the choice is yours. You will also work on post processing the images in Photoshop using simple workflows to get print ready images.

Photo Workshops

Whilst the Coromandel boasts some of the best beaches and forest in New Zealand the scenery isn’t the only thing we focus on. It is equally important that we cover the basics of photography in a practical, fun and interactive environment. All of our photography teaching is done in the field so you can try new ideas immediately.

Whether you are new to photography and want to understand more about your camera and how to use it or are experienced and just want to be taken to hand picked locations to take pictures the choice is yours. Our focus is on helping you to take better pictures.We take a practical step by step approach to help you get the best out of your camera, not just on this workshop but on your next photographic adventure. The following is a list of some of the core themes we cover – depending on your level of experience we can cover more or less of each item.
