The riverside town of Bright is a picturesque village located at the foothills of the Australian alps in the Victorian High Country. This small picture-perfect town is the perfect place to base yourself to explore the surrounding alpine region.

Nestled in the heart of the Victorian High Country, this small town also provides easy access to one of the oldest National Parks in Australia, Mount Buffalo. Boasting sheer cliffs, granite tors, waterfalls and stunning alpine views, Mount Buffalo is a photographer’s playground.

The endless opportunities for stunning imagery make Bright & Mt Buffalo the perfect place for a photography packed getaway.

This workshop aims to give participants, at any level, a vast range of photographic opportunities to shoot and learn. This region offers everything a photographer could hope for on a photography trip from the wide sweeping vistas to waterfalls as well as natures smaller scenes.

With an abundance of photographic locations and subjects to shoot the workshop will be adaptive to weather conditions. Upon arrival, during our meet and greet, I will outline the itinery of locations planned over the course of the workshop and assess the weather forecast for the days ahead to ensure the best chance of capturing each location under the best conditions.

Having a list of locations and then allocating locations to the optimal conditions forecast over the course of the workshop allows for the best in-field teaching as well as increasing the chances of capturing these subjects in the best lighting / conditions.

Along with the stunning locations and endless photographic opportunities this workshop will also provide you with a comprehensive learning experience.

Through educational theory sessions on topics such as 'The Art of Seeing' and 'Composition' you will gain extensive insight and a thorough understanding of the core principles involved in creating compelling imagery.

I will also conduct post processing sessions throughout the workshop providing you with the skills and knowledge to bring your images to life through both basic and advanced post processing techniques.

We will take a close look at the core fundamentals of Landscape Photography.

Gaining a clear understanding of these core fundamentals will transform your imagery and take it to the next level.

I will conduct theory sessions that will help you understand key fundamentals and also everything I have learned over the years about these particular topics.

These sessions will be conducted in a 'classroom style' format to ensure the content is delivered without distraction.
