Hi Julie,
Thank you so much for the chance to attend your photography workshop at Marree in September. For me this was a marvellous opportunity to improve my photography skills and visit a part of Australia I have always wanted to see (and will be back to visit again!). Over the 3 days I captured some pretty impressive images.
Travelling to Marree on the edge of the outback is a lot easier than it once was. A 2 day drive from Melbourne was very simple. Especially if you compare it to the 5 days it used to take to just go from Marree to Birdsville. The biggest challenge is limiting the photo stops at all the interesting things you see along the way. Even more so on the return journey, with all the new ideas and techniques to practice.
What an amazing location you have for these workshops. Marree put on a show for us every morning and night. Staying at the Marree roadhouse was wonderful, simple hearty food and glorious hot showers made the visit all the more pleasant. How nice are the people! They are friendly, funny and very interesting. Lyall is definitely one of the Australian outback treasures, but you know that already J
I really enjoyed the many interesting landscape locations we worked at in and around Marree. The clever techniques you taught us with creative lighting have given me a set of tools to use for producing some really interesting images. It really struck home to me how valuable it is to have someone like you teach me techniques that have taken you years of trial and error to develop. Techniques that I could learn and apply in the field in a very short timeframe. I am even now thinking of ways to test the limits further using your techniques.
The class room sessions provided a great interactive environment, taking on Photoshop with my limited experience of this particular software meant my learning curve was steep. I appreciated the small group size as this allowed me to get the answers to the questions I needed while keeping us all moving along at the same pace. The small group also made it easy to share ideas and learn from each other’s experiences along the way.
Thank you again for everything you taught me, I highly recommend that anyone even thinking of doing one of your workshops should jump at the opportunity.

Channel Country, Outback Queensland – Colours, Patterns and Perspective The Channel Country in outback Queensland is one of Australia’s most quietly powerful photographic landscapes. Shaped by extreme cycles of drought and flood, it’s a place where subtlety matters — where colour, pattern and light do the heavy lifting rather than obvious landmarks. For landscape photographers, […]
Another year for me judging the Wilderness Photographer of the Year — and wow, the standard was incredible, especially in the Nature category.
