Why This Format Works
This challenge mixes the best of both worlds:
three online classes where you can learn from home, plus one in-person day where everything clicks into place.
You get flexibility, real-time feedback, and hands-on learning — and you get to meet other local photographers. This workshop is also the beginning of creating a LensLife community in Christchurch.
About Me
Hi, I’m Coni (The Wanderer Photographer).
I’ve helped hundreds of photographers grow their skills and confidence. This year my goal is to help build local LensLife communities around New Zealand, and Christchurch is next.
I can’t wait to meet our new Christchurch Lensies.
