Some of the best photos you’ll ever see of New Zealand

Fellow photographer Johan Lolos spent most of 2015 in New Zealand. What he discovered and captured is nothing short of amazing!

New Zealand changed me forever. It is there that I started my career as a full-time photographer, it is there that I discovered my passion for the outdoors and mountains, and it is there that I lived for 7 months in the most relaxing place on Earth: Wanaka. Now I have some new plans for 2016 but I know that I’ll be back in New Zealand one day, probably sooner than expected. In the meantime, I’d like to share with you this series of pictures I took during my time there. There are 40 pictures that all represent a unique moment to me, and I hope you’ll find some inspiration in them.
