As well as being tour guides, we’re professional photographers. This is our major difference and we will work with you to create a beautiful set of images to remind you of the magical time you had visiting the Southern Lakes. This is where we live and photograph often, we know where to go. You really can put those phones down and be present in the moment.
Safety is paramount to us, Qualworx Audited means our vehicles are certified to carry passengers and we’re also licensed to drive passengers with the relevant insurances and health and safety policies firmly in place. We have ten year concessions in place with the Department of Conservation allowing us to explore on DOC land too, and carry Outdoor First Aid Certification.
These aren’t whistle stop tours where you’re in and out of the vehicle as fast as possible. We want you to be able to slow down and relax, to take time to drink in the beauty that will be all around you and learn more about this incredible part of the world which we feel privileged to call home.
We understand that you will want to see your photos as soon as possible so we’ll be getting into the processing quick sharp. That’s what we’re about. Usually by mid morning the next day, often before, you’ll have a handful for social media with a subtle watermark. We will have your full set available via digital download within two weeks.
In terms of numbers, this is almost like saying how long is a piece of string. Rather than hold the shutter down and create hundreds of similar shots we’ve found that we produce a collection of between 70 - 120 images on ’Authentic As Queenstown’
We have great printing deals which we’ll discus with you, and depending upon how long you’re staying in town we can deliver prints of your favourite shots to your hotel before you leave or arrange to have them shipped anywhere in the world. This we make in our own studio close to Coronet Peak.
If you have any further questions, please emailus@authenticAs.org and we’ll gladly answer them for you
