Private Workshop - Half or Full Day
Best of Southern Tasmania
A guided day further afield - waterfalls, coast, a bushwalk or a ferry day-trip. As far as the day allows.
A full day (or half) out shooting with me, further from town than a single session reaches - the waterfalls of Mt Field, the sea cliffs of the Tasman, a bushwalk, or a ferry day-trip to Bruny or Maria. We shape the day around what you want to photograph and how far you'd like to roam.
Pick the length that suits you - switch between them in the booking panel. A half day stays closer and goes deep on one area; a full day opens up the ferry islands and the longer walks.

Where we go
How far the day reaches
A half day stays closer and goes deep on one area; a full day opens up the ferry islands and the longer walks. On the day I pick the route that fits the conditions.
1
Tasman Peninsula
~1 hrSea cliffs, blowholes and dolerite coast - plus the longer walks to Cape Raoul and Cape Hauy.
2
Mt Field & the waterfalls
~1 hrRussell and Horseshoe Falls, tall-tree rainforest and alpine light higher up.
3
Bruny Island
Full day + ferryThe Neck, Cape Bruny lighthouse and dramatic sea cliffs - a full day across the water.
4
Maria Island
Full day + ferryPainted cliffs, wildlife and convict ruins - no cars, just a full day exploring on foot.
Conditions decide the spot. The listing suggests where we might head - on the day I pick the best of it for the light and the weather, and match the walk to your fitness.
Just after a local session? See the Sunrise or Sunset Shoot or the Astrophotography Shoot.

Home the same day

Bushwalks need a fitness/access chat at booking and a short safety brief - I'll sort a pack list. Meals not included; we'll stop as the day allows.
Optional add-ons
A little help either side of your day
Handy on any session, and split across your group they're a few dollars each. Add them when you book, or mention them when you enquire.
Planning call
+$60A Zoom before the day - we go through your goals, your gear and a plan for the conditions, so you turn up sorted and make the most of it.
Review call
