WHAT ARE THESE ADVENTURE ABOUT?
We are offering two linked photo adventures in March 2022.
ADVENTURE 1 – WPA is teaming up with Tim Robinson of Snap Happy to offer you a fantastic photo escape to one of the worlds great photo hot spots – Lamington National Park.
ADVENTURE 2 – We are also working with Momento Pro to offer a linked, special 3 day book making workshop.
This is our 19th workshop at this location. It is that good! Join one, or both adventures!
This is a special photo location that is guaranteed to help all photographers from novice to advanced. Based in the rainforest mountains behind the Gold Coast, our accommodation and the surrounding rainforest offers the best photographic learning environment. Interested to improve your creative skills? Your professional photo guides are world leaders and love to help!
We will specially target unique field techniques and outstanding processing and theory in the comfort of our beautiful multi award winning lodge. Subjects include spectacular birds, frogs, forest scenes, grand landscapes and unique creative patterns and shapes.
PHOTO WORKSHOP – WHAT’S INCLUDED?
We include 4 nights accommodation at O’Reilly’s Rainforest world class photo tuition, plus all meals as per itinerary. We limit the group size to 5/6 photographers per tutor. This will offer you personalised assistance in the field! We do not include transport to and from the mountain. Julia is happy to help with suggestions from hire cars to the mountain bus service, or linking up with another photographer to car pool. You can fly into the Gold Coast or Brisbane. You just need to get yourself to and from the start and finish points. Julia is happy to help you with the best options.
BOOK WORKSHOP OPTION
Plus we are adding a linked 3 day book workshop. This special workshop will include the co-founders of Momento Pro, Libby Jeffery and Geoff Hunt. Libby, Geoff and Darran will have you well on the way to making a stunning book, targeting everything from concept to imagery, fonts to layout. If you already know the basics of book making, we will take you another step further!
