Take better pictures for the rest of your life after this fun, sociable and hands-on workshop for just $99.
Melbourne photographer/journalist Murray Johnson shares his top 10 tips & tricks to make you a better photographer.
This half-day session starts with a colorful Powerpoint presentation illustrating our "top 10" photo secrets with stunning images.
Then we go cruising around Melbourne on bicycles, practising what we've learnt by taking photos in great locations with digital cameras (bring your own). Film cameras can be used too, but you won't get the instant feedback on your work! The practical excursion can be done on foot or trams for groups who prefer not to cycle.
Forget the six-week night school course costing hundreds of dollars. Get out of the stuffy classroom, get the wind in your hair on a bike, and have fun while you learn about cameras, composition, light and more while meeting and swapping notes with other photographers.
We don't just tell you how to be a better photographer. We show you – in small, personalised classes with plenty of one-on-one help tailored to your specific needs.
Learning is healthy, sociable, fun and easy – with Real Melbourne Photography Workshops.
Workshops start from Rentabike @ Federation Square in the heart of Melbourne.
This comprehensive photography "crash course" is ideal for anyone who's just "gone digital" or bought a new camera and is coming to terms with it, if you're heading overseas and want to take better pictures, or if you want something completely different for a gift, staff reward or team building program.


Real Melbourne Photography Workshops are suitable for beginners and intermediate photographers. Even experienced snappers might learn something or get a different perspective from Murray's 30 years of news, family, travel and wedding photography.
There are plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get exactly what you want from the experience.
It's the perfect group activity or affordable staff reward/incentive for anyone who does photography in the course of their work – like the real estate industry.
School and other groups can also be catered for. Private workshops are available too.
Real Melbourne Photography Workshops, like a cooking class in Tuscany, are a great activity for travellers. See a bit of the city while learning skills you'll keep long after you return home. As Hemingway would have said: "If you are lucky enough to have done a Real Melbourne Photography Workshop, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for like Paris it is a moveable feast."
Or as Jack Kerouac would have written: "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, mad to take photos, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"

Workshops run year-round.
