Your instructor

I am a New York expat photographer, videographer, filmmaker and educator living in Queenstown, New Zealand.

I moved to New Zealand from New York in 2018 to be a school teacher, and then I started my own photography business along the way. For the past seven years, I’ve been capturing some of New Zealand’s most intense and exciting adventure sports moments—from mountain biking and snowboarding to endurance racing and commercial outdoor campaigns. My work has been featured in global tourism campaigns, major New Zealand adventure sports events like the Volcanic Epic, Whaka100, Crankworx, Ocean Swim Series and high-profile collaborations with outdoor sports brands.

📸 Why I Built This Workshop

Adventure sports photography is an art and a skill, requiring both technical mastery and on-the-ground adaptability. This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between passion and profession, teaching you everything from technical shooting skills to brand collaboration and industry networking.

I’ll be sharing insider knowledge on shooting techniques, camera settings, post-processing workflows, and career-building strategies—so you walk away with the confidence and skills to turn your adventure sports photography into a thriving business.

🚀 Join me in Queenstown for an adrenaline-filled learning experience that will transform your photography career and help you create relatable and impactful content.

Client Testimonials

"Chris has a great eye and brought creativity and expertise to a challenging brief. Very easy to work with (a huge plus for us) and the results were excellent. Definitely recommended if you need a professional who can think outside the brief and capture those magical moments that are hard to put together."

Chris is a great adventure photographer: he has taken outdoor photos for the Got To Get Out social enterprise over the last few years, and has shot ski trips, hikes, bike rides and more. He is professional, puts photo-subjects at ease, and is very fast turnaround with nicely edited photos. Highly recommended.

We had some images taken on the Hauraki Rail Trail to promote our business and our cycling tour products. Chris, his partner and parents were brilliant to work with and achieved fantastic results! The images capture exactly what our customers experience and allows us to update our promotional material (print & digital) with stunning results. We can highly recommend Chris Chase Photography! Thank you, Chris.
