Three and a half fabulous days (4 nights) in the winter wonderland of Victoria's Yarra Ranges!
Ladies, this is for you. Imagine immersing yourself in the glorious forest surrrounds of Narbethong and the Black Spur, staying in beautiful retreat style accommodation with the most delicious food and hospitality, and with the most divine horses, dogs Models and more … 
Have you ever wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes in creating incredible photographs from a styled shoot? Do you want to know how ideas come together, what goes into the planning process and how to pull off an epic photo shoot creation as well as capture your own amazing photos from the experience? I'm giving you the opportunity over three fabulous days, to see what goes on behind the scenes into making amazing imagery! The why, the how and everything in between, over four unique, creative and inspiring studio and outdoor workshops, plus a deep-dive session into the editing process for that final polish.
You will be a part of the whole shoot process and will recieve detailed insight into posing, lighting, location scouting and working with people and animals as well as editing to bring out the final magic in your photographs. The individual workshops will include an outdoor styled, portrait sessions with model in natural and introduced light. A fine art shoot using backgrounds to explore studio style photography, as well as a personal branding session for each of us and an editing collaboration session with Matt Krummins photography to bring it all together.
This masterclass is limited to only six ladies, by invitation only. Guaranteed to be a personal, educational and meaningful experience. There will be the opportunity for you to request what you would like to learn about and I will be available for the entire workshop to assist you. We will share meals together and stay in the comfort of the beautiful Saladin Lodge together. 
We will be staying in the stunningly beautiful town of Narbethong in the Yarra Ranges, Victoria at the gorgeous Saladin Lodge. With time spent totally immersed in the Australian bush, in all its wintery splendour, to then retreat back into the comfort by the wood heaters, on the cosy couchs with maybe even a glass of wine.
