  • Chasing Autumn Light

    Port Campbell Photo Safari 27th-30th March 2026

  • Join award winning Master Photographers David Simmonds and Ian van der Wolde on this immersive coastal photo safari along Victoria’s spectacular Shipwreck Coast. Over an inspiring weekend, you will refine your landscape photography skills while exploring one of Australia’s most dramatic and photogenic coastlines. Capture iconic sea stacks and rugged shorelines, learn to read the changing light and weather, and develop a more considered approach to composition and visual storytelling.

    The experience culminates on the final day with an introduction to the craft of fine art printing where you will gain insight into preparing your images for print and return home with a museum quality archival fine art print of your favourite photograph from the weekend, a lasting and tangible expression of your creative achievement
