Single day tuition (group) Landscape Photography Experience in Tropical Far North Qld

Over 6 days 5 nights this personal private photography experience blends iconic landscapes, relaxed learning, and personal guidance — without pressure or rush.

Private Photography Experience

This photography retreat is for solo photographers only, who want to be taught by a professional but at their own pace.
So regardless of your experience level and fitness level the retreat is all about you. You can learn as much as you want at your own pace without any distractions and receive 100% tailored guidance on everything there is to know about landscape and Milky Way photography.
You will decide on how early you want to start, how many hrs you want to be taught and how late you want to finish. It could be 18hr days or 6hr days. Regardless, it's my job to bring you up to speed or enhance and push what you thinkmight already know.
If you look at the Emerging and confident this gives you an idea of what you can decide you want to do while being guided by me during our 6 days shooting in Far North Qld.

                              Testimonials

I recently attended a workshop with Steve from Steve Cooke Photography and got so much out of it.

It really refreshed my memory on how to use my camera, and gave me the inspiration to start shooting again.

I especially loved the practical tips on how to take photos with myself in them — something I’ve always wondered about!!

The follow-up afterwards was also fantastic and showed how much Steve genuinely cares about helping everyone improve. Highly recommend, and I’m definitely keen to do more workshops with him in the future
