I decided to co-run my very own first New Zealand photographic adventure alongside my partner Tristan. Since then we have run 5 amazing retreats around the South Island of NZ. We have absolutely fallen in love with the process of creating beautiful experiences for groups of like-minded artists in the country where we live - which just happens to be an amazing place to shoot fine-art photography!

Our next events are:

-November 2026 Twizel Tour with Saskia and Lucy (Sold Out)

-November Southern Alps Spring Tour 2026 with Saskia, Alice Unleashed and Lucy (Sold Out)

-February 2027 Golden Bay tour with Sylph, Bellatrix and Lucy (sold out)

-May 2027 Private Autumn tour with Sylph, Riley Jade and Lucy (sold out)

Participant Feedback

 
Lucy’s art nude photography trip in New Zealand was an unforgettable experience that exceeded expectations on every level. The locations were carefully chosen, from rugged coastlines and riversides to lush forests and mountain scenery, each offering a stunning and unique backdrop for creating powerful imagery.

Lucy herself was not only an exceptional organiser but also an inspiring model. Her professionalism, creativity, and natural ability in front of the camera set the tone for the entire trip. Alongside her were two other outstanding models, who each brought their own unique style and energy to the shoots. The variety they offered meant photographers had the chance to explore different moods, compositions, and aesthetics throughout the sessions.
The group dynamic was fantastic—relaxed, respectful, and collaborative. With three highly professional models and a small group of photographers, there was plenty of time to work closely with each model, ensuring everyone came away with strong and diverse images.

The trip was run with great attention to detail, balancing structured shoots with opportunities to explore and connect with fellow creatives. It was not only about producing images but also about learning, sharing ideas, and enjoying the creative process in some of New Zealand’s most breath-taking locations.
Overall, this was a remarkable trip that combined world-class modelling talent with spectacular scenery and smooth organisation. I would recommend Lucy’s events to any photographer who wants to work with true professionals and elevate their portfolio in a supportive and inspiring environment.
