Luke O'Brien Photography offers guided photography tours, workshops and one-on-one tuition across Tasmania, focusing on landscape, wildlife and night sky photography.

Tours are structured as full-day or multi-day experiences and include options for private tours, small group tours, and specialized tuition such as night sky photography. The 3-day Bay of Fires Photography Workshop runs from St Helens with accommodation at the Panorama resort and covers sunrises, sunsets, night sky sessions and on-site shooting of wildlife, macro subjects and waterfalls.
Mt Field offerings include visits to Russell Falls, Horseshoe Falls and the cool temperate rainforest, with instruction on long exposures, macro and full-manual camera settings. Minimum guest numbers are stated for group tours; some tours can be booked privately when the stated minimum is met.
