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.

    As the weather gets colder, the pink trumpet trees around Townsville are starting to bloom. One on the JCU campus bloomed quite early and is starting to fall. I took a chance of getting the photo before it was too late. I wanted to capture how big the tree is. I laid the camera on the ground, trying to get as low as possible, angled it, and captured the tree as the main subject without other trees interrupting the frame.

    Early morning bird watching when we came across the beautiful bird sitting in a tree just off the road, wonderful that he sat for a few minutes before he flew down into the long grass in the paddock where he may have had a feed waiting

    Title or Location: Near Goukdsboro, PA
    Originally showed up at Gouldsboro State Park at sunrise to get a backlit, misty shot of the island but when I got there, NO mist, and enough boats on the lake to walk across!Quickly decided to take a backroad to another favorite spot nearby, and slammed on the brakes as I was driving over a small bridge when I looked to the right and saw THIS scene. Finding it was sheer luck, but as always, just getting out there at first light is half the battle. Made this one standing right on the bridge.
