Phillip leads amazing trips. We spent 12 days touring the South Island and saw many of the iconic sights. And saw some unique landscapes, and had some unique experiences, which is Phillip's specialty. I would highly recommend traveling with Phillip for a quality photographic experience

Hi Dale, thank you for your very kind words. As always, it was a real pleasure (and great fun!) travelling and sharing more of the South Island with you. I hope that on your next visit your good wife will be with you!

Capture New Zealand Photo Expeditions is organised and run by Phillip Bartlett, and the secret to his success is not in advising photographers on technical issues, but in knowing where the most stunning scenery is where, even if you only took photographs with your phone, the images are spectacular. However, if you are in need of specialised advice he is only too happy to provide it.
Serious landscape photographers will not be disappointed in joining one of Phillip's photographic expeditions.

Talk about variety! Phillip Bartlett delivered well beyond his promised itinerary! His familiarity with the areas and knowledge of the local guides and drivers really pampered us all. The accommodations ran the gamut from "best available" to 'drop-dead gorgeous'! The VERY, VERY EARLY AM traveling demands were well worth it once we arrived at a destination and had a chance to situate for, hopefully, a great shot. His understanding of timing & lighting in the mornings in various spots really enhanced both the photographic experience & visual enjoyment. Humor, food, great stories, new/old friends, what could be better than that! Having travelled with him now, three times, we look forward to the next two, and then some!

The South Island of New Zealand contains some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world and being led around by someone so experienced in the terrain as well as reading the weather (I swear that Phillip works as a part-time meteorologist) gives you the best possible opportunities to capture amazing photographs. Phillip tailors his teaching style to your abilities and he has helped me a lot to refine the way I compose an image on the field. Being able to discuss and share ideas with a professional photographer throughout the workshop was invaluable - I now have a better sense of the overall aesthetic and style that I would like to put across in my work.
This is definitely not one of those run-of-the-mill photo tours - expect to be immersed in surroundings far-flung from the beaten track, devoid of large coach buses filled with tourists. There was a day that we spent in a valley around Te-Anau and except for the passing farmers, we had the entire place to ourselves to experience and photograph.
However, going off the beaten track doesn't mean it has to be uncomfortable. Phillip has curated a list of accommodations that are comfortable, clean and spacious. There is always good food along the way and he knows where the best coffee and hot chocolate can be had.
This was my first trip with Phillip and certainly not my last. I hope to join him for other adventures in the near future.

The best international trips that we have taken. Phillip led us on two weeks of some of the great locations in Indonesia. Nights sailing on the Sunda Sea, sunrise at Padar, visits with the Komodo Dragons and the Orangutans of Kalimantan.
This was our second trip with Phillip and he exceeded our expectations both times.
