About

A six-hour private photo tour in Sydney. Starting with coffee by the Harbour to review your photography skills and customise our tour to suit your level and go over technical skills. covering both evening, sunset and nighttime.

This will combine the Street Photo Tour with the Night Photo Tour to create an intensive six-hour photography workshop where you can get away from the icons of the harbour to truly develop your photography skills, and take some superb images across a wide variety of locations in Sydney.

Our tours are always private, so you and your group (or up to four people in total) will be able to go anywhere in Sydney that tickles your fancy. One route we suggest would be to start in Milsons Point and shoot at the iconic Luna Park amusement park, shooting under the Harbour Bridge before catching a ferry to Circular Quai. Having a bite to eat before heading off to Kings Cross or Mrs Macquarie’s Chair to explore the city after dark when the lights start to twinkle.

Over our six hours together we will go over:

  • Understanding your camera: technical aspects such as Aperture, ISO and shutter speed
  • How to frame the perfect image. What to include, and what not to include.
  • Night photography techniques, what settings and locations work best.
  • Making sure you are standing in the right place at the right time to get the perfect picture
  • Reviewing your photography.

No matter what your level is, we will make sure the tours are suited to your level. We typically start with a coffee to go over technical details, find your interests, and plot a course that will be relevant and educational to you. Absolute beginner or semi-professional, we will have you covered.

Each tour is private, and we will not couple you with people you do not know. Feel free to bring along guests, such as other photographer friends, or your partner and family, but we ask you to limit the group to four people. This way we can work at your pace to make sure you take away the skills that last a lifetime.

What to Bring

Along with your camera and some comfortable walking shoes, make sure you don't forget a spare battery! Also we highly recommend bringing a tripod. If you don't have one, you can rent it when booking.
