YouTube Video Description

To National Geographic Photography Expert Ricky Qi, New Zealand and the Subantarctic Islands are a landscape photographer’s dream. From virgin forests and jaw-dropping fjords, to ancient Māori traditions and sheepherding demonstrations, there are endless moments to document. "Every stop that we've taken has been a highlight," he says. In this episode of Explore with National Geographic Experts, Qi goes in-depth on the natural and cultural richness of New Zealand and the rewarding experience of teaching guests how to capture the region’s beauty.
