Tours for Photographers — diverse locations — help and advice
Designed for visitors to Sydney and locals alike, our photographic tours are flexible and without structured instruction. But your guide is available for queries and advice on the big photographic questions. All levels of experience. Make a group and enjoy the learning experience together.
   Arriving in a new city and only having a brief period to explore, it is easy to miss some of the best visual interest it has to offer. Equally, long-term residents can be unaware and surprised at new and different angles and subjects hidden away. Book one of our tours to make the most of Sydney's pictorial potential.

Historic first area of settlement in Sydney. The Rocks, dominated and in the shadow of the Harbour Bridge is one of those classic tourist areas and is often the host to a range of entertainments including music, art and markets. But away from the milling crowds, a maze of secret lanes, stairways and narrow streets offers a feast of photographic opportunities. The backdrop includes some of the oldest architecture in the country. Moving up to the park at Observatory Hill, capture some of the best views in Sydney – but now with the Bridge below. The garden and grounds of the observatory are open, spreading giant fig trees are some of the best of nature’s sculptures in Sydney. Back down the hill, endless picturesque streets and return to Circular Quay.

The city's architectural wonder and no wonder – shoot it from every angle. And from the facing cruise ship/ferry terminals. Buzzing with visitors and city desk pilots taking a break. View from the Botanical Gardens. Infinite visual potential. This building is the symbol of Australia's post-colonial aria to the world. Through it we seek cultural identity. The radical design was inspired by sailing ships but for photographers, the building makes many visual statements.
