Bunbury Photography & Editing Weekend Workshop July 25th/26th

A hands-on coastal photography and editing experience designed to help you shoot with intention and edit with confidence.

This 2-day workshop in Bunbury takes you through a complete real-world workflow — from capturing strong images in the field to refining them in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Whether you're feeling stuck in your photography or want to move beyond presets, this workshop is designed to help you understand why you shoot and how to create images that feel like your own.

What You’ll Learn

Across the weekend, you’ll gain practical, real-world skills including:

• How to compose stronger images in any environment
• Working with natural light and changing conditions
• Long exposure techniques without overcomplicating settings
• A complete Lightroom workflow (import → cull → edit → colour grade)
• Masking and targeted adjustments
• Photoshop techniques to refine and elevate your images
• How to create mood, depth, and consistency in your edits
