These workshops are designed for amateur and emerging photographers who want to sharpen their technical skills while learning the art of natural light, composition, and authentic portraiture. Set on the family’s beautiful property in the Hunter Valley, the sessions include hands-on shooting, live demonstrations, critique sessions, and priceless insight into the professional world of photography.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to add depth and emotion to your portrait work, Clare and David offer guidance that’s practical, inspiring, and refreshingly down-to-earth.
For those with a sense of adventure and a passion for culture, Clare also leads unforgettable international photography tours to remote and visually rich destinations including Mongolia, Ethiopia, and beyond. These tours go far beyond sightseeing—they’re fully immersive photographic journeys tailored to creatives who want to build extraordinary portfolios and experience the world through a deeper lens.
In Mongolia, Clare’s tours offer exclusive access to traditional reindeer herders, Eagle Hunters, and nomadic tribes in some of the world’s most untouched landscapes. You’ll stay in authentic gers, travel in 4WD convoys, and wake up to scenes straight out of a National Geographic spread—with Clare right there to guide you through every shot.
In Ethiopia, Clare’s itineraries dive into the vibrant culture and raw beauty of the Omo Valley, working with local fixers and guides to ensure respectful and meaningful engagement with tribal communities. It’s an emotional and creative adventure that leaves you changed, both as a photographer and as a person.
Each tour is capped at a small group size to ensure one-on-one mentoring and an unhurried experience. From landscape to portrait, documentary to street, Clare’s expertise helps travellers see the world differently—and capture it like never before.
