Course Index Northern Beaches Weekend Day Courses Eastern Beaches Weekend Day Courses Sydney City Weekend Day Courses Newcastle Weekend Day Courses One on One Day Courses Blue Mountains Weekend Day Course Blue Mountains Full Weekend Feedback / comments from past courses

Following the enormous success and popularity of my Composition Sydney Courses I am proud to release my Magical Melbourne Courses to the people of Victoria.

Over the course of the day we will shoot and explore many of the iconic sights and capture the colours this amazing city has to offer.

This is a full day course where students are taught the skills and techniques to master capturing dynamic photographs but also how to make a photograph work in any environment. The course takes in a sunset shoot where the skills of the day are put to the final test at Brighton Beach.

All courses include a detailed full colour workbook on the days teachings and DVD containing tutorials on image development.


Positions are limited to 8 persons per course.

An additional course date of the 10th of May 2009 has been added due to the high demand for the 9th of May course.
