  • OVERVIEW

    We believe in empowering photographers to explore their full potential without limitations. This workshop is the ultimate expression of this philosophy and is suitable for photographers at any stage of their creative journey.

    Join us for a 5-night/6-day photo workshop featuring three of the best photo tutors - Darran, Frazer Leal, plus Mike O’Connor. Focus On Tasmania provides a unique opportunity for photographers of all levels to enhance their skills and knowledge in photography. The workshop is tailored to accommodate various levels of experience and covers a wide range of photographic interests, including landscape, nature, travel, and creativity. In addition to enhancing your photography skills, we also offer guidance on processing, storing, and even selling your images.

    What sets us apart is our unique approach, which combines in-depth learning sessions with hands-on challenges, ensuring a comprehensive and tailored experience that suits your individual needs and skill level. We focus on your photography, rather than shooting our own images.
