Richard Young is a full-time landscape and wildlife photographer based in Wanaka. He has been guiding groups of photographers in New Zealand since 2010, and in 2013, he founded New Zealand Photography Workshops.
We can pick you up early on the first morning of the workshop from Queenstown and provide you with transport during the retreat, and drop you back to Queenstown at the end of the workshop to connect with late afternoon flights.
Our Expressive retreats are designed for experienced photographers so we can focus entirely on a deeper more expressive understanding of photography to further develop your own style and vision. You should be comfortable in all your camera settings and shooting in manual mode, as we wish everyone to be on a simlure level so we do not need to teach basic techniques and skills so as to focus on a more creative approach to photography.
A reasonable level of fitness is required for this workshop to make sure you can access all the locations. The main beach we shoot at will require some walking of 45 minus one way on a rough trail, carrying your gear.
To offer a creative environment, limited to a group of 6 photographers to have the time and support to develop your photography skills and to fully explore each beautiful location and push creative limits. Smaller groups of up to 3 may only be led by one tutor, with groups of 4-6 with the help of additional tutor or local guide.
A non-refundable deposit of NZD$600.00 is required to reserve your space for the workshop. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to the start of the workshop. You may pay in full at time of booking, the balance (minus the deposit) will remain fully refundable until 30 days before the workshop.
