WHAT’S THIS ADVENTURE ABOUT?
LADY ELLIOT ISLAND
This is one of the Leal family’s favourite places on earth and it just happens to be in their own back yard. (So to speak…) We base ourselves at the islands resort. This is the perfect location to target – The Great Barrier Reef, thousands of nesting birds, sea turtles, shoots are only limited to your imagination. We photograph a very wide range of subjects from wildlife to macro and stunning creative images.
Most importantly, your professional photo guides can spend quality time helping you to improve and help you to understand key points like visualisation and processing.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
We include 5 nights accommodation at Lady Elliot Island Resort – world class photo tuition, plus all meals as per itinerary and return flights Hervey Bay – Lady Elliot – Hervey Bay. We limit the group size to 6/7 photographers per tutor. This will offer you personalised assistance in the field! We do not include transport to and from Hervey Bay.
You can fly into Hervey Bay directly from Brisbane or Sydney and other locations by connecting flights. You just need to get yourself to and from the start and finish points. Julia is happy to help you with the best options.
WPA groups have been exploring this island for over 13 years, with some returning to enjoy the island more than once. We guarantee some of the most amazing nature experiences on this planet.
Nothing delights the lens like striking contrasts of creative shoots and nature, and Lady Elliot serves these up in abundance — vibrant seascapes, captivating wildlife and fantastic creative shoots.
The adventure …
Immerse yourself in the heartland of uniquely captivating images. In 2020 we invite you to photograph Australia’s hidden gem, Lady Elliot Island.
