The South Island of New Zealand has to be on the top of every photographers list of places to go and I have been hounded to run a tour here - which I LOVE!
Within the South Island there is photography opportunities around every corner. It is really hard to not stop the car every kilometre to capture the amazing beauty that is New Zealand.
It has taken awhile to get this tour together because I wanted to make sure it was tip top the whole way. Thanks to COVID we had to delay this trip for a few years, but we are all set to go in 2027!

Cam is a very experienced photographer who is passionate about helping others develop their understanding of cameras and how to take the best photos possible!! During my 5 day trip to The Tarkine area of Tasmania with Cam’s tour group, I found Cam to be a fun, well organised guide who had a deep understanding of many facets of photography. I would definitely consider doing another trip with Cam!

This was a fabulous photography workshop in conjunction with ParAvion at Bathurst Harbour in Tasmania;'s remote south west! Cam Blake ably led us photographing in the varying situations the environment offered, With the teaching and the environment so amazing, I would readily do this workshop again
