This weekend of photography is Epic with a capital “E”!
Join Seng Mah and Glynn Lavender for a memorable weekend of amazing photo opportunities and learning all about lighting in a range of environments. Our backdrop will be the beautiful Avondale Farm, Kokerbin Rock, Yenyenning Lakes and more, and you’ll be shooting outdoors in paddocks and bush, as well as indoors in stables, shearing sheds and old homesteads.
Two models will be joining us to give us to give us plenty of shooting opportunities and we’ll also be shooting landscapes: sunrises, sunsets and, weather permitting, the Milky Way.
We call it a Shootarama, because we’ll be pausing only to sleep and have meals; other than that, it’s going to be shoot after shoot after shoot. It’s the perfect opportunity for you to capture great photos for your portfolio and to develop or fine tune your photography and lighting skills across a whole range of different situations — from people photography, environmental portraits, epic storytelling portraits and landscapes.
Glynn and Seng will be at hand to instruct and inspire as we show you how to make the most of the environment and how to light for creative, dramatic and sensational effect.
