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!

Such a great video! I want to come ❤
This really did blow me away. So engaging, appealing... hypnotic. Unbelievably good to look at, listen to, absorb everything. Can only dream about being there too. Awesome, William.

Thank you so much Joan 🙏🏻❤️💚
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

Absolutely wonderful video. The photo of the sunrise near the end of your video is one of the most spectacular photos I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you so much. The light moved so fast, I didn’t think I got anything, but we managed to make it work in a the brief moment we had haha. Thank you.
This place just blew me away. Didnt want this video to end. Makes you forget all the rubbish in the world. If only people had access to these places, may be the world would be a better place. Thank you for sharing this . Amazing. Truly stunning

Thanks so much. Ironically, problems arises when too many humans have access to such places. We can all escape and find our own slices of wild, quiet places though. Glad I could take you there through this video and images though 🙏🏻

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 🙏🏻

Loved the video mate! Such a special place down there, when I first started my fishing career I worked out of Charles sound, I will never forget the atmosphere, sights and sounds. Pure Salt has been on my list since I did a ticket update with Maria and she told me they were just getting started. Hoping to show my wife the area, perhaps one of you trips might be perfect for us... Cheers

The landscape, weather, boat, facilities, food... that huge lump of perfectly prepared meat was amazing... the wildlife, the humour, and the inspirational professional, you, determined to make sure everyone learns and comes away with photographs and an experience they won't get anywhere else. Top notch!

Not many left in the world. The arms of the fiords are typically calm but heading closer to the sea can obviously get quite wild, which does make for good photography :)
