New Zealand is a photographer’s dream world. The immense range of different types of landscapes, spectacular vistas that sometimes seem a little otherworldly, would take years to do photographic justice. Be it majestic and dramatic landscapes, or simply stunning and raw natural beauty, the New Zealand South Island got it in spades. Below are but a few images from my first visit to New Zealand, which was a big 5 week photo trip around the South Island in 2012.
