New Zealand Photography Workshop Fiordland

Hey everyone!
In this video, I want you to sit back and join me on my yearly photography charter into the remote southern fiords of Fiordland, New Zealand.
Living in Te Anau, my backyard and main inspiration for my photography has always been in Fiordland and it's innumerable valleys, waterfalls, mountains lakes and lush rainforest.
Each year I run a photography trip with my friends over at Pure Salt, where we spend several days in Dusky Sound and the southern fiords, exploring and capturing this vast wilderness. This video shows a brief glimpse of our trip this year and some of what you can experience.
If you'd like to join us in 2024/25 please email info@williampatino.com or visit www.puresalt.co.nz/join-a-group
Thanks for viewing!

    Wow... ! I would think that for anyone on this trip it can only go downhill from here! This was phenomenal. Even with my little camera I think I'd need about 10 petabytes of storage to come close to capturing it all. LOL

    I sense the double-edged sword, mate. Sharing your most precious place with KZread to keep your business going, yet regretting sharing this amazing place and hoping it doesn't explote it and bring bad tourism. Tough call. Loved this video a lot. Your personality shined through. Thanks for sharing. Very well done.

    Thanks mate. Thankfully the inaccessibility helps keep a place like this safe, along with national park limits on business operators. I’ve been shooting these areas for many years now and sometimes a single frame just doesn’t do it justice, so it’s nice to now show it from another perspective. You’re right though, there’s always two sides. Always appreciate the support 🙏🏻
