PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS.
All our workshops practice ethical bird photography.
The welfare of the birds always comes before getting shots. We do not use call playback or otherwise deliberately disturb or lure birds into the open (ie. unnecessarily increase stress levels and/or risk of predation just to get a photo). If that is what you are after, then these are not the workshops for you.
However, if you want to learn how to take images of wild birds behaving naturally in fabulous locations and natural habitats, then you will be right at home on our one of workshop tours.
With exception of Lamington, which I run with Michael Snedic (see below), I run these workshops with my good friend Dr Claire Greenwell - a conservation biologist who specialises in seabirds and also happens to take amazing bird images (she won Australian BirdLife Photo Awards Portfolio prize).
Photography Workshop Tours.
We pride ourselves in finding the best locations and times of day (yep, that often means sunrise and sunset photos shoots) to get great images of birds, especially seabirds in flight which are our special love (see Seabirds gallery).
We also love BBQ dinners at sunset, snorkelling with the fishes and picnics by the ocean - participants are very welcome to bring their partners to enjoy these 'extra-curricular' activities with the whole group.

KENYA
June 2025
SOLD OUT
This is going to be sooo much fun running this tour with my friend Faraaz Abdool (from Trinidad & Tobago).
If you don't want to miss out on an amazing 10 day safari through the best bits of Kenya, getting hands on tuition from me on how to get the best action and art shots of incredible wildlife (and how to process them) - then click below.
*And its not just about giraffes, lions and elephants - I'm especially interested in 'focussing' on all the other unique and wonderful creatures (birds, insects, grass mice and flora) that nobody else notices. Africa is a place for the soul - I can guarantee you will never forget this trip.

CHRISTMAS ISLAND
PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR
22-29 April 2025
SOLD OUT
This is truly one of the most amazing wildlife places in the world - known as the 'Galapagos of the Indian Ocean'.
We don't go at the time of the red crab migration (many roads are closed) but you will still see hundreds of the charming little nippers (and their grumpy cousins) as well as three species of boobies and frigatebirds, noddies, red-tailed tropicbirds and arguably the most beautiful seabird in the WORLD: the Golden Bosunbird (golden morph of the white-tailed tropicbird only found on Christmas Island).
TASMANIA
6-10 November 2025
SOLD OUT
Michael Snedic and I are planning on a 4-5 day workshop in Tasmania's wilderness wonderland. If you'd like to know more, let us know below.
KUNUNURRA
PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR (PROPOSED)
July 2026
We're at the planning stage but the we both LOVE this destination - its a birder's paradise from waterbird and kingfisher filled lagoons, boabs of kites, gouldian finch grasslands or yellow chats and rock wallabies on Lake Argyle to rocky grottos of spinifex pigeons and white-quilled rock pigeons (warning: I LOVE my pigeons).
