Come along to our photo sessions to dust off your camera and get snap-happy with a professional photography instructor.

Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Townsville .

  • New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

    The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

    Join the Townsville Photography Group on Facebook to share your photos after the session.

    Praveen does an excellent job with instructing these sessions. There were plenty of flying birds around, with which we could practice our skills. I learned a lot and very much enjoyed it. Also enjoyed chatting to the other participants.

    It was a great morning. Good that it was early morning and the Palmetum location was excellent. Praveen was very good and knowledgeable, and was very enthusiastic in passing on his knowledge and experience. I had a great time and came home with nice pictures and lots learned.

    Using my camera in manual rather than auto was great. It is always too easy to accept a result rather than strive fir improvement

    I wanted to thank Maria for wonderful session at Pallarenda. I learnt a lot about landscape photography. You were very patient with me as I was learning to use my camera. I will definitely book in for more sessions.

    The event was excellent. Maria spent time explaining concepts and worked with each person individually to assist with their set-up. She was passionate about photography and it wasn't just a job for her. For me it was more about getting out in a social setting with other photographers but that was my choice and I still got some value from the teaching.

    Title or Location: Magnetic Island
    One of the most accessible and spectacular shipwrecks on Magnetic Island, just 20 mins ferry ride from Townsville. The SS City of Adelaide was being towed from Townsville before she ran aground and became what it is today. An artificial reef that even has trees growing from it. Morning, noon and afternoon, it's an amazing sight and one that's even better from above thanks to the drone.

    I was soaking in the sun on a beautiful day with my camera and zoom lens when i spotted the dragon fly on the antenna of a car parked car close to my apartment. The vivid colors and the beauty of the moment was no lost on me and i immediately zoomed in with my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I was glad the dragonfly was in no hurry to fly away. I was all smiles when i looked at the end result. The bokeh effect and beauty of the dragonfly. My camera settings were SON
