Private Photography Workshop
A session built entirely around you — your gear, your goals, your pace. One hour or a full day. Seascapes, astro, long exposure, composition, editing, or whatever you actually want to work on.
Session pricing
Straightforward rates. Pick what fits your schedule and goals — longer sessions allow more locations, more techniques, and more editing time.
Not sure which length is right? The 3-hour session is the most common starting point — enough time to shoot a proper golden hour session and do a meaningful edit review. If you want to cover astro as well, a half or full day gives enough runway for both field sessions and editing.

Private sessions are also a strong starting point before committing to a multiday workshop. A number of Dylan's Uluru, Sapphire Coast, and NZ participants had a private or masterclass session first. Past private clients get loyalty access to multiday workshop releases.

What past participants say
Real feedback from real workshops.
"Before the workshop, techniques like exposure blending and shooting full manual felt out of reach. Three days on the Sapphire Coast changed that. I left not just with shots I'm genuinely proud of — particularly nailing slow water — but with a real understanding of why the process works. For anyone at an intermediate level sitting on the fence, I'd say do it."
"I considered myself a capable photographer before the workshop, but it surprised me how much I still had to learn — and how quickly small adjustments improved my results. Dylan challenged me creatively and helped me produce a collection of images I'm truly proud of. You gain so much more than just photos — you leave with practical skills, creative direction, and genuine confidence."
"Definitely worth it — expert tuition, incredible locations, and a great group of like-minded photographers. Since the workshop my photography has noticeably improved — I have a much better understanding of both capturing and processing shots. If you're sitting on the fence, just go."
