7 Days • New Zealand's Most Iconic Landscapes
April 5-12, 2027
Hello, Dream Chasers!
Imagine standing beside the turquoise waters of Lake Pukaki as the first light of day illuminates Mount Cook. Picture yourself photographing the Milky Way above Lake Tekapo, soaring over glaciers on a sunrise flight through the Southern Alps, or cruising through the towering cliffs and waterfalls of Milford Sound.
This isn't just another photography workshop. It's a carefully crafted adventure through some of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth. Over seven unforgettable days, we'll photograph the very best of New Zealand's South Island, including Queenstown, The Remarkables, Mount Cook, Lake Tekapo, Wanaka, Fiordland, Glenorchy, and the world-famous Milford Sound.
Along the way, you'll receive hands-on instruction in landscape photography, composition, storytelling, editing, and portfolio development. Whether you're an experienced photographer or simply passionate about creating beautiful images, you'll leave with stronger skills, greater confidence, and photographs that few people ever have the opportunity to capture.
If New Zealand has always been on your photography bucket list, this is your chance to experience it the right way.
And the adventure doesn't stop there.
One of the highlights of this workshop is our unforgettable Milford Sound Photography Cruise through the heart of Fiordland National Park.
Imagine standing on the deck with your camera as towering cliffs rise thousands of feet above the water, waterfalls plunge from the mountainsides, and clouds drift through one of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth. Around every corner is another incredible composition waiting to be captured.
We'll photograph the world-famous Mitre Peak, dramatic fjord scenery, lush rainforest-covered mountains, hidden waterfalls, and the ever-changing light that makes Milford Sound a dream destination for landscape photographers.
Whether you're capturing epic wide-angle vistas or intimate details within the fjord, this experience offers countless opportunities to create portfolio-worthy images while exploring a place often called the "Eighth Wonder of the World."
For many photographers, Milford Sound alone is worth the trip.
And it’s more than just about taking beautiful photos—it’s about creating images that can SELL.
You’ll work closely with expert photographers and creative marketers who know exactly how to capture jaw-dropping shots *and* how to turn them into income. We’ll break down the proven types of images that buyers and collectors crave—and show you how to frame, shoot, and edit them for real-world impact. From in-the-field coaching to editing sessions, you’ll leave with photos you're proud of—and a roadmap to monetize them after the trip.

OPTIONAL ADD-ON #2!
Fiji! April 15-18 2027
The Tropical Dream Extension - Slow Down, Soak In the Light & Photograph Paradise in Fiji
For those craving the ultimate tropical escape, we’re offering a 2-day luxury extension to the crystal-blue waters and white sand beaches of Fiji.
This serene island destination is a dream backdrop for creative photography—palm trees swaying at golden hour, vibrant reef life, and sunsets that look painted in real time. It’s the perfect way to wind down, recharge, and capture peaceful, portfolio-ready imagery unlike anything else on the trip.
WHAT YOU'LL CAPTURE:
Queenstown Skyline & The Remarkables - Begin your adventure in Queenstown with sunset and blue hour views over one of New Zealand’s most dramatic mountain towns. Then photograph sunrise as first light hits The Remarkables, creating bold alpine compositions filled with color, shape, and scale.
Lake Pukaki & Mount Cook - Capture the turquoise waters of Lake Pukaki with Mount Cook rising in the distance. This is one of New Zealand’s most iconic landscape scenes, with snowcapped peaks, glowing sunrise light, and endless opportunities for portfolio-worthy images.
Lake Tekapo Astrophotography - Spend two nights under some of the darkest skies on Earth, photographing stars, mountain silhouettes, reflections, and the Milky Way around Lake Tekapo. This leg of the trip is a big deal.
Sunrise Flight Over Mount Cook & Glaciers - Take to the skies for an unforgettable sunrise photo flight over Mount Cook, glaciers, and the Southern Alps. This is your chance to capture aerial perspectives most photographers only dream about.

Fiordland & Milford Sound - Explore the wild beauty of Fiordland before boarding a photography cruise into Milford Sound. Capture towering cliffs, waterfalls, rainforest-covered mountains, Mitre Peak, and moody fjord scenes that feel almost unreal.
Glenorchy Wharf Finale - End the New Zealand workshop with a beautiful shoot at Glenorchy Wharf, surrounded by lake reflections, mountain backdrops, and the quiet drama that makes this region so unforgettable.
Weather & Light Variety - Misty mornings, crisp alpine sunrises, dramatic clouds, blue hour cityscapes, dark skies, waterfalls, lakes, glaciers, and fjords. You’ll build an image set that is as diverse as it is breathtaking.
Perfect Timing & Light - April is a beautiful shoulder-season window in New Zealand, giving us cooler temperatures, rich atmosphere, and stunning light without the peak summer crowds.
PLUS: You’ll be traveling with a team of pros who know exactly when to shoot what and where 🌄🌌
While we’ll do everything humanly possible to make sure your trip is smooth, comfortable, and packed with jaw-dropping photography moments, New Zealand’s landscapes love to keep things interesting. That means fog banks, shifting clouds, changing light, unexpected weather, and a few surprises that no script could write.
Some locations or shoot times may shift depending on light, weather, flight conditions, water conditions, or local logistics. But rest assured, we’re always adapting to help you get the strongest images possible. That’s the magic of a real photography adventure: epic memories, breathtaking photos, and the unexpected moments in between. 📷🌿⛰️

📷 CAMERA GEAR
✔️ Your Camera – Any DSLR or mirrorless camera is perfect for this workshop. Full-frame cameras offer extra dynamic range, but outstanding images can absolutely be created with crop sensor cameras as well.
✔️ A Sturdy Tripod – This is one piece of gear you don't want to leave behind. We'll be photographing waterfalls, alpine lakes, mountain landscapes, sunrise, sunset, blue hour, and even the stars. A solid tripod will make a huge difference.
✔️ Wireless Remote or Cable Release (Optional but Recommended) – Excellent for long exposures and night photography while eliminating camera shake.
✔️ Telephoto Lens – Recommended range 70-200mm or 100-400mm. Perfect for compressing mountain ranges, isolating distant peaks, photographing wildlife when opportunities arise, and capturing intimate landscape details.
✔️ Standard Zoom (24-70mm or 24-105mm Recommended) – This will likely be your most-used lens throughout the workshop, handling everything from landscapes and waterfalls to towns, forests, and travel photography.
✔️ Ultra-Wide Lens (14-24mm or Similar) – Highly recommended for dramatic foregrounds, expansive mountain scenes, lake reflections, waterfalls, and astrophotography.
✔️ ND Filters (Optional but Highly Recommended) – Perfect for creating silky waterfalls, smoothing lake surfaces, and extending shutter speeds during daylight.
✔️ Circular Polarizer – One of the most valuable filters you'll own in New Zealand. It reduces reflections, deepens blue skies, enhances autumn colors, and helps reveal the incredible clarity of New Zealand's lakes and rivers.
✔️ Extra Batteries – Bring at least 3 spare batteries. Cooler mornings, long shooting days, and night photography will drain batteries faster than normal.
✔️ Extra Memory Cards – You'll likely shoot thousands of images during the week. Bring more storage than you think you'll need.
✔️ Lens Cloths & Blower – Waterfalls, mist, rain showers, and changing weather are all part of photographing New Zealand. Keeping your lenses clean is essential.
💻 COMPUTER & MISCELLANEOUS GEAR
✔️ Laptop with Lightroom or Photoshop – We'll spend time reviewing, editing, and improving your images throughout the workshop.
✔️ Laptop Charger & External Hard Drive – Back up your images every day. These are photographs you'll never want to lose.
✔️ Reusable Water Bottle – We'll often spend long days out in the field.
✔️ Sunglasses, Sunscreen & Lip Balm – New Zealand's UV levels are surprisingly intense, even during autumn.
✔️ Power Adapter – New Zealand uses Type I electrical outlets (230V). International travelers should bring an appropriate adapter.
✔️ Notebook & Pen (Optional) – Great for writing down camera settings, composition ideas, editing notes, or business strategies discussed during the workshop.
🧥 CLOTHING & WEATHER GEAR
✔️ Dress in Layers – April is autumn in New Zealand. Expect cool mornings, comfortable afternoons, and chilly evenings. Temperatures can change quickly, especially in the mountains.
✔️ Waterproof Rain Jacket – One of the most important things to pack. Weather changes rapidly, and many of our best photographs may happen immediately before or after rain.
✔️ Warm Mid-Layer – A fleece or lightweight insulated jacket works perfectly for early mornings and evening photography.
✔️ Comfortable Waterproof Hiking Boots – We will photograph around waterfalls, lakes, rocky shorelines, forest trails, and uneven terrain. Waterproof hiking boots are strongly recommended.
Important: Before traveling, thoroughly clean your hiking boots, tripod feet, backpacks, and any outdoor gear. Remove all dirt, mud, grass, seeds, and plant material. New Zealand has some of the world's strictest biosecurity laws, and dirty outdoor equipment may be inspected upon arrival.
✔️ Wool or Hiking Socks – Several comfortable pairs will make long shooting days much more enjoyable.
✔️ Light Gloves & Warm Beanie – Sunrise, sunset, and night photography can become surprisingly chilly in alpine areas.
✔️ Small Daypack – Ideal for carrying your camera gear, extra clothing, water, snacks, and rain protection while we're out shooting.
🛂 NEW ZEALAND CUSTOMS & BIOSECURITY
New Zealand works incredibly hard to protect its unique environment. As a result, it has some of the strictest customs and biosecurity regulations in the world. Please take a few minutes to prepare before your trip.
✔️ Clean All Outdoor Equipment Before You Fly – Hiking boots, trail shoes, tripods, backpacks, trekking poles, camping equipment, fishing gear, and anything that has been used outdoors should be completely clean before arriving. Remove all mud, dirt, sand, seeds, leaves, insects, and plant material.
✔️ Check Your Camera Bag – Tripod feet, backpack pockets, rain covers, and camera bags often collect dirt or seeds without you noticing. Please inspect them before packing.
✔️ Declare Any Food – Snacks, protein bars, fruit, nuts, candy, coffee, tea, sandwiches, jerky, and virtually any food items should be declared upon arrival. Many items are permitted after inspection, but failing to declare them can result in significant fines.
✔️ Declare Natural Items – Wood products, shells, feathers, seeds, plants, flowers, animal products, and other natural materials should also be declared.
✔️ Photography Equipment Is No Problem – Cameras, lenses, drones, laptops, batteries, chargers, memory cards, and photography accessories are all perfectly normal to bring. The primary concern is keeping outdoor equipment clean.
✔️ When in Doubt, Declare It – Declaring an item doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. Customs officers simply inspect it and determine whether it's allowed. It's always better to declare something than risk forgetting.
✔️ Review the Official Guidelines Before You Travel – Customs requirements can change. Please review the latest information before your flight:

🌴 OPTIONAL EXTENSIONS: FIJI & SYDNEY
If you're joining us for one or both of our optional extensions, you may want to pack a few additional items.
🇫🇯 Fiji Extension
✔️ Swimsuit – You'll definitely want one.

✔️ Light Jacket – Autumn evenings along Sydney Harbour can become cool.
What level of Photography do I need to do the Workshop?
I accept all levels of experience in photography, but please make sure you have the gear needed; otherwise, it will be no fun for you. If you are missing a lens or an ND filter, don’t worry!
There will be no long or strenuous hiking or heavy physical exertion needed. People in their 20s-80s join us in these workshops. However, you must be able to walk up a few flights of stairs with your gear. If that is going to be a challenge, this might not be the best next workshop for you.
Can I bring my husband or wife?
If you have a Non-Photographer +1, they may attend the entire adventure. But due to the high, hard costs associated with this adventure, any +1 on this trip will be the same cost as a regular photographer.
I have more questions...
If you have more questions regarding the workshop please send an email to support@craigalexanderacademy.com.
Which airport should I fly into?
Arriving in New Zealand
Please book your flights so that your final destination is Queenstown Airport (ZQN). Most international travelers will first arrive in New Zealand through Auckland (AKL) before connecting to a short domestic flight into Queenstown.

Flying Home
If you're joining only the New Zealand workshop, you'll fly home from Queenstown Airport (ZQN).
(Exact departure dates will be announced as we get closer to the workshop.)
If you're continuing on to one or both of our optional extensions, we'll coordinate the flights for you and simply invoice you for the final cost.
- Queenstown → Sydney (Australia Extension)
- Sydney → Fiji (Fiji Extension)
- Fiji → Your Final Destination
If your trip concludes in Fiji, you'll book your international flight home from Nadi International Airport (NAN).
