Queenstown .. the thriving city nestled amongst the lakes and mountains. My feelings about Queenstown are still the same as the first time I ever laid eyes on it, absolute incredible beauty and really a New Zealand Landscape photographer heaven. Home to the Remarkables mountain range and the south islands largest lake, Lake Wakatipu, this area has so much to offer and I always feel a slight sense of sadness leaving the place. Probably why I've been back so many times. Whether its a Queenstown sunrise, sunset or just time by the lakes, I always love bringing my camera out here. I hope you enjoy this Queenstown Photography .. if you are interested in prints or purchasing images please visit my print store or contact me.

A little more about Queenstown Photography ...

My first trip to the South Island solely for photography was back in 2015 .. and Queenstown was the placed where my plane landed. I had never been before, I'd never taken photos in the South Island, and the incredible Remarkables mountains and Lake Wakatipu is what greeted me when I arrived. What a way to start my Queenstown Photography journey.

​

It was the thick of winter and Queenstown had just had a huge snow dump ... this is what New Zealand landscape photographers dream about. I headed off down Lake Wakatipu and continued the drive out the Glenorchy. My goal was to get a famous Queenstown sunrise. I took landscape photos of the famous Glenorchy Pier, the sister trees and the beautiful Glenorchy lagoon. I was hooked.

​

Countless visits back to Queenstown has now meant that I have built a stunning portfolio of images I am very proud of. Queenstown sunrise, Queenstown sunset and everything in between. Lake Hayes in Arrowtown would have to be one of my favourite spots, with Moke Lake coming in a close second. A Meiklejohns broken jetty sunset doesn't go a miss, and Arrowtown and the Shotover Gorge look absolutely incredible during Autumn. If a Queenstown Autumn isn't your thing, come back in spring where Queenstown lupins can be spotted along the lakeside shores making a picturesque NZ photo.

​

Because Queenstown is home to one of the major airports in the South Island, and the easiest town to fly into when making the trip out to Milford Sound, I get to visit often and I'm certainly not sad about it.

​

I hope by sharing these NZ images of Queenstown itself might inspire you to come and explore Queenstown Photography for yourself.
