Dandenongs Photography

Ready to take your smartphone photography to the next level? Then look no further than this picturesque walk where you’ll learn the fundamentals of photography like composition, focus, exposure, creative techniques, working with natural light, post-production, and much more. You’ll discover not only how to perfectly capture what you see, but more importantly, how to creatively interpret your subject. All you need is a fully charged phone with a camera and a desire to learn.

George Poulakis is a multi-award-winning fine-art photographer whose work has been exhibited nationally. His extensive commercial photography experience complements his art practice, allowing him to approach his work with technique and creativity.

Join us at the delightful RJ Hamer Arboretum and surrounding tracks for great walking combined with views, lush vegetation and maybe even a lyrebird sighting or two! Make this the day where you get outside, enjoy the elements, take some awesome photos and do something unique.
