Sydney: 3-Hour Night Photography Workshop – Sydney, Australia

EXPERIENCE:

This Photography Workshop is held on various Thursday or Friday nights from 6:00 to 9:00pm (7:00 to 10:00pm during daylight saving)

As the city lights come on and the city comes alive, you will learn creative techniques to help you create postcard quality images on this fun, inspirational and eye-opening experience.

Your night begins with a harborside brief and introduction from a working professional photographer. As night falls, a whole new world of subjects come to life as you spend the evening exploring the bright lights of the amazing Sydney Harbor and its surrounding area.

From the moving ferry lights on the harbor, to the neon lights of the central business district, to the moody and character-filled streets of The Rocks, this night photography workshop will introduce you to simple yet creative tips and techniques involved in shooting after dark in Sydney.

Control your camera manually as you learn how to expose for mood, capture light blur trails, zooming and light painting techniques, creative portraits at night and much more. 

Change the way you see things with this night photography workshop as you learn how to find suitable subject matter by thinking outside the box.
