Tricolour Lab
2 Hours • Intermediate • Use Manual Mode with Confidence
Tricolour Lab is a photography education company offering hands-on workshops, courses, and private lessons across Melbourne, Brisbane, and Canberra. The business specializes in practical, small-group instruction that helps beginners and intermediate photographers master mirrorless and DSLR cameras, manual settings, night photography, travel photography, and composition. Sessions range from two-hour night or private lessons to full-day eight-hour city workshops, with offerings that include both group courses and one-on-one tuition.
Instruction is led by experienced, award-winning photographers and professionals; several workshops are described as led by an award-winning photographer, and private lessons highlight individual feedback tailored to student goals. Class sizes are intentionally small to ensure personalized guidance — some workshops explicitly cap participants at six — and the curriculum emphasizes camera settings, exposure, aperture, shutter speed, lighting, and composition for immediate improvement in real-world shooting.
Tricolour Lab operates a range of structured trip formats: beginner courses for those new to photography, manual-mode and mirrorless/SLR workshops for skill development, night photography sessions focused on low-light techniques, travel photography tours combining learning with city exploration, and private lessons for customized coaching. Locations and itineraries vary by city to showcase iconic urban scenes and outdoor light conditions.
Bookings are available for distinct 2, 3, 4, and 8-hour experiences, providing flexible options for different schedules and learning objectives. Tricolour Lab's focus on small groups, practical fieldwork, and experienced instruction makes its programs suitable for learners seeking efficient, hands-on photography improvement.
Many sessions are led locally in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Canberra urban locations suitable for varying light conditions.
