Capture the iconic highlights and hidden gems of the incredible Great Ocean Road while under the expert guidance of a professional MARK GRAY Accredited photography instructor...

First established in 2007, our exclusive Great Ocean Road photography tour is a highly unique 5 day photography workshop on the road that allows photographers from amateurs through to semi-professionals to learn how to capture professional quality landscape photographs.

Instead of learning in a boring classroom environment, photographers are escorted around the Great Ocean Road in a modern air-conditioned mini-bus and taught essential photography skills while visiting stunning locations at the best times.

Workshops are limited to only 4 participants to ensure everyone gets plenty of 1 on 1 tuition at each location.

Tours often book out months in advance so secure your place online today to ensure you don't miss out!

Further Tour Testimonials

"I have enjoyed photography ever since my Mother gave me my Box Brownie. Years later when I bought a Digital SLR I enjoyed shooting in Auto getting results that were pleasing to my eye but listening to photographers started to make me curious about the creative modes. I struggled with getting settings just right for a long time and decided I needed professional help.

Quite by accident I came across Mark Gray's web site and enrolled in a course on the Great Ocean Road. Professional help from Mark made me understand my camera and it's what it is capable of. The technical explanation was explained in very simple language. The results of the three days tuition is beyond my expectations. I am over the moon with my results!

I enjoyed the workshop very much with great company as well. My favourite location was the large group of Apostles although the waterfall was a very close second.

The workshop highlight probably was my first sighting of the Apostles, we came around the corner and there they were!

Our tech sessions were very simple to understand and I especially like the way you took the time to explain something that one did not understand. I also especially did like the personal tuition and the way you looked through my view finder with advice on the particular image that I was about to shoot.

Many thanks again Mark and if you come to Brisbane anytime soon I would really enjoy some futher tuition!"

"Mark,

I just want to thank you and Matt for a wonderful weekend and all your guidance and showing us the secret places on the Great Ocean Road. The quality of the accommodation was amazing – well located, very comfortable accommodation. Good that single accommodation is provided rather than sharing with other participants. I think on photography trips it is nice to chill out seperately.

During the technical sessions I felt I could ask any questions no matter how silly or simple they were. Great presentation booklets were presented at the beginning of the photography workshop. The sessions were very informal but very effective and I learnt a lot out of this information in particular the session on weather.

"Hi Mark, I had a fantastic time on the workshop and want to go again! The accommodation and meals were very good and I loved shooting all the secret places. I will definately recommend this workshop to anybody who has an interest in taking a good picture on the Great Ocean Road. FANTASTIC!!!!"

"Mark,

Thank you and Matt for your excellent and hard work to make our trip very comfortable and fun. The workshop was absolutely amazing! It was well organized and very informative. We've learnt so much and had a lot of fun in a relaxed and friendly environment.

It was great to take photos at famous locations, but I also enjoyed discovering secret locations. I learnt a lot in the very informative technical sessions and it was good to exchange questions among participants. During the workshop it was very encouraging to receive good comments on my photos. I'm also impressed with the well prepared folder we received. Good work!"

"Hey Mark, the weekend was great! You are on a winner here. I can't believe there aren't any more short trips around like yours. The workshop size was perfect. All seemed to get on well. The time allocated at the locations was about right. Both yourself & Matt made a great team to ensure we had a stress free holiday. I think your choice of accommodation & meals complimented the fantastic scenery. It was a full 3 days which ensured we really got the most out of it. Your personal tuition was excellent - I have never used ND filters & not much tripod use, but now I feel confident enough to get out there at the crack of dawn to see what I have been missing out on."
