Mike Langford & Jackie Ranke are both at the top of the game photographically. Both are Grand Masters of the NZIPP and the Australian AIPP and Canon Masters. They share their vast photographic knowledge through their unique small boutique styled workshops, (six to eight students), which have been successfully running for over thirteen years. The aim of the workshops is to learn how to think and see like a photographer.
Many of their clients having done more than one workshop in order to keep moving up to their next level of photography. Most of the workshops start and end in Queenstown and are run from their home/studio, (which is an inspiration in itself).
The workshops cater for both the beginner as well as the well-seasoned photographers. The workshops are both inspirational as well as practical. No one gets left behind and everyone is able to progress at their own rate and level. The workshops cover landscapes, macro, travel and portraiture and involved a number of different destinations including international ones of Myanmar and Japan.
Their workshops include what to do with you images once they have been produced and the classes end with tutorials on photo editing the making of audio visuals, photo books and finally the actual printing of the final image using Eizo Monitors..
Prices range between $2000 and $4000 for a four to five day workshop and & $7000 – $8000 for international ones. Workshops include expert tuition, transportation and accommodation ex Queenstown. Bookings need to be made early as they tend to book out well in advance.
