Saturday March 28, 2026 at Bunya Crossing Reserve (2:30PM - 5:30PM)
Join us for a half-day outdoor photography workshop designed to strengthen your natural light skills and creative direction.
Set at the stunning Bunya Crossing Reserve, just 30 minutes from Brisbane CBD, this workshop is perfect for beginner to semi professional photographers ready to grow their portfolio, gain confidence working with natural light, and learn how to create a timeless and cohesive series of imagery.
Course Highlights
Lighting On Location – Master natural light in any setting. From harsh midday sun to golden hour glow, learn to confidently shoot front-lit, back-lit, and side-lit scenes, create lens flares, and use framing for artistic impact.
Scouting & Scene Selection – Learn how to find ideal shoot locations and transform ordinary or “unexpected” spots into compelling backdrops using creative perspective and intention.
Colour, Pattern & Composition – Discover how to balance colours, textures, and patterns while keeping your subject the hero. Refine your composition and in-camera settings for beautifully polished images straight out of camera.
Directing with Confidence – Communicate your vision clearly, guide natural movement, and create a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere that brings out the best in your model.
Nailing It In-Camera – Reduce editing time by learning how to dial in your settings on the spot. Shoot with intention and walk away with clean, professional RAW files ready for refinement.
Creative Flow Time – Put theory into action with dedicated shooting time to experiment, explore angles, and apply your new skills in a supportive environment.
Connect & Create – Build meaningful connections with like-minded creatives, share inspiration, and be part of a community that values growth and collaboration.
