New Zealand is currently enjoying a fantastic winter and is perfect for shooting snow projects in the mountains or snow and ice road shooting platforms, glaciers and ski fields.

With summer just around the corner, New Zealand is an ideal and diverse production location. Often thought of as 'a world in one country', from stunning lakes and rivers to tropical rainforests surrounded by dramatic surf beaches, cultured cities to country villages, volcanoes, cropfields, vineyards, coastlines featuring black and white sands, glaciers and rolling green hills: there are so many endless epic landscapes that take the breath away.

AJ Films has been thrilled to host multiple productions for repeat clients including Audi, BMW, Porsche, Volvo and Volkswagen. The production team has been busy coming up with new locations and managing shoots for Chugai, Dentsu, Goodhealth, Swisse Mulitvitamins and Powerade, and is currently working on snow projects with photographer Miles Holden, Descente and the Swiss Ski Team.
