Enrol in one our fun-filled kids’ holiday workshops or after-school programmes to explore and develop their creative skills. In these workshops, children are exposed to a range of outdoor activities that capture their imagination through the eyes of the lens.

Children are encouraged to learn about and explore their local surroundings in small groups in these workshops.

Mobile Photography & using Photo Apps.
Mobile photography is becoming increasingly better, with more powerful phones and better cameras than in the past. It is a photographic genre all of its own.
This course is designed to teach kids how to take better mobile photos using some cool tips and tricks and how to edit them using some great photo apps.
This course is suitable for beginners and up. Ages 6-12 years
Light Painting.
Light painting is a super fun technique that involves using a moving light source. A scene or an object can be painted with a beam light to bring it to life. This technique is captured using a long exposure. Light painting can create may types of beautiful abstract art by capturing coloured lights as they are moved.
This technique requires the use of a trip and a darkened room or even better, taken at low light or night to create best effects.
Looking for the right workshop?
Sometimes you just can’t find the workshop that you’re looking for. If you have a group of children who would benefit from exploring and expanding upon their creative skills, get in touch with me and we can discuss the possibilities.
“My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the workshops. She now has a keen interest in photography. She loved learning how to use the cameras and then having lots of opportunity to use the cameras. She was thrilled and excited by the high quality of photos she was able to produce by the end of the workshops.”
— Kathy, Homebush
