We arrived at the lighthouse and we could finally see it when standing right next to it. The fog was really thick. We decided - wisely - to wait it out a bit from a distance. Luckily we didn’t have to wait long and were treated with a stunning sight. Nugget Point, New Zealand.

A very unique rock structure on the Otago coast. Such an awesome mood when I visited, super windy up where this shot was taken!

Travelling in a camper van for 10 days has some of its benefits. One of the benefits are being able to pull up and spend as much time as you want wherever you want. This shot was taken in NZ at Tunnel Beach.

It’s incredible that you can see views like this just 10 minutes away from where I go to university (Dunedin, New Zealand). What a magical place for a study break.

On my way into work one morning in winter, and the water was so calm. The lights on the ship and the city were just so stunning, I had to stop and capture it. Long exposure. littleleafcreative.com

The Otago headlands are home to some of the most wicked views, winds and waters. But still very beautiful

We came home from Sandymount as the clouds were receding from the peninsula towards the city. The sun was shining through the mist and lighting up the water.

Dinghy and reflections of Autumn forest. This photo was taken on a calm, peaceful Sunday morning while walking around Blueskin Bay, Waitati (Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand).

On my trip through New Zealand I met one guy how also comes from Germany and slept in the same ski lodge. He offers us to give us a free paragliding flight if we will drive his car down in the valley. Guys this was just awesome! We get to free paragliding flights (it was the first time for me) and it was just perfect. :)

Truth be told, I didn’t even realise there were people in the image until I looked at it a few weeks later. It was a winter’s day in Queenstown and I was out for a walk while taking a break from the tours I guide. I always have my camera with me and the fall colours were out - a rare sight for a North Islander in New Zealand.

Walking at sunset is one of the small things that I miss about New Zealand. Something simple, but stunning every single time.

We decided to go for a hike up the infamous Queenstown Hill Summit walk. It wasn’t easy for us beginners, but we kept on. We came to a fork in the track. The sign to the left “5 minute track” and the sign to the right “20 minute walk”. We decided to take the longer route which lead us to this dark looking forest where the sun light was kept away by the tall pine trees. We instantly felt mysterious and pulled out our cameras to capture this enchanting (some would say dead and dry) forest.

That water is really cold, like REALLY cold. Julia is a fantastic model and fantastic friend for doing this shoot for me. St Bathans is a stunning dark blue, lake surrounded by white cliffs, which made for a perfect spot to do a water shoot.

During our trip through New Zealand we found this sweet spot. All the bras are from visitors. This is a social campaign from the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation near Queenstown. They collect some money with a little box for donations. Greet opportunity to finance a little bit for the research to fight agains breast cancer.
