Tony has teamed up with leading Queensland landscape photographer Ben Messina and we are running specifically designed workshops and itineraries at spectacular locations to maximise unique photographic opportunities with the goal to improve your overall photography, understanding and using your equipment, improve your knowlege and use of light and composition. Limited numbers of small groups and two professional instructors that have been photographing Australia across all camera formats for a combined 30+years. Draw from the experience of international award winnning ladscape photographers that not only win prestigous awards but also run highly succesful galleries and exhibitions showcasing all their own work.
All workshops have a maximum of 12 participants (for 2 guides), so not only is there small numbers of particpants but you also have access to the vast wealth of knowlege from two different pro's. You will learn all of Tony and Ben's photoshop secrets to help make your own images gallery ready.
