Photography

Night photography is the best way to capture the magical world that blooms every day when the sun goes down. Taking photos at night time may look daunting. Shooting in the dark is often even scary for a lot of people, but trust me, once you discover and try it, you’ll find a whole new world.

​

Join me in this astrophotography workshop under one of the best starry skies in Sydney. Barrenjoey lighthouse area offers endless compositions and beautiful dark skies within a short drive from the CBD.
