Great Photo Tour out of Queenstown - We had a great day with Martin touring the Queenstown area allowing my wife and I to take (as the name of the company suggests) simply remarkable photographs. My wife is a photographer and Martin took us to places we probably would not have found on our own and helped with ideas to take the best pictures possible. I highly recommend that anyone visiting Queenstown and looking for a guided photography tour book a day with Martin.

Awesome photography tour!! - Martin was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Our entire group had a fantastic time as Martin showed us wonder after wonder traveling through the deserts, forests, and lakes of NZ. Martin shared with us so many hidden gems and great vantage points, he also helped dial in my camera settings for the day and offered helpful tips along the way. Martin also supplied us with hot coffee and muffins overlooking queenstown, and took us to a wonderful cafe for lunch. Highly recommend if you’re interested in spending the day shooting with a friendly expert and learning about the region.

Wonderful photography day - Had an amazing day with Martin. His knowledge of the local areas and his advice on photography was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for Martin, stopping when photo opportunities presented themselves. I have come away with some beautiful photos from around Queenstown and increased knowledge in landscape photography. Thank you for a wonderful day Martin, I hope to be back to join you on another fabulous workshop/day.

Awesome - highly recommendable - We went to two different locations. First we went to the Remarkables and did some very good shots of the area from high up and some artsy shots of a winding street. After that we took Skippers Road and wow, what a great landscape. It was even better than the first location. Martin was great and took the time to show me how to take the best pictures. I can highly this tour. Time was over way too soon.

A great day out photographing the area around Queenstown - The day was well spent with Martin showing us a number of locations around Queenstown that were would definitely not have found on our own. He was very knowledgeable about the area and can accomodate photographers at any level. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering doing it.
