SUITABLE FOR:     Photographers who want to spend most of the workshop out shooting. We spend 80% of this workshop shooting, 20% downloading our images and learning about Lightroom and Photoshop. The workshop also includes two valueable critique sessions.

WHAT TO EXPECT:    A typical day starts with an early rise for a sunrise shoot, followed by breakfast back at our accommodation.  You'll then spend the day out shooting around Kanagaroo Island in the hands of David and Tom before heading back to your accommodation for dinner. Followed by a critique with wine in hand.  Long days but a good balance between outdoor practical one-on-one tuition and indoor critique sessions that you can then apply immediately to your photography.
