Photography Tours & Workshops

Join us as we take a photo adventure through the sublime declared wilderness area of Mount Hay and Butterbox Point  in the Blue Mountains. After taking in a sunrise, you will be taken on a guided bushwalk with plenty of photo opportunities for the landscape photographers, but also providing lots of nature, macro wild flowers, birds and other wildlife.

This area remains one of the most unknown gems of the Blue Mountains and is an absolute must for photographers to visit. So book your place and come join us for the day.

We Astrophotographers do some crazy things, like during the early parts of Milky Way season, we become night owls, sleeping during the day and heading out to hunt for that perfect nightscape in the middle of the night. But the results for the adventurous can often be mind blowing.

So come and join Jay on this Astro-meet, capturing the Milky Way as it rises off the eastern coastline from behind the famed basalt rock columns lining the old Bombo Quarry. This place is like being on a distant rocky planet when juxtaposed against the night sky. There are plenty of great compositions to look for around the area, so plenty for everyone to shoot.

While on site, I will go through some basics about safety, etiquette, how to find the Milky Way, how to capture it, how to look for a unique composition and how to manage lens fog when it occurs on cold nights (as it surely will!).

We will shoot the Milky Way and Star Trails through to sunrise.

Join me on an unforgettable Antarctic adventure aboard the Ocean Endeavour with Chimu Adventures and Sony Australia. For 12 days, we’ll explore the Antarctic Peninsula, focusing on the “Best of Antarctica: Whale Discovery” expedition, at the cost of A$11,790.00 per person, twin berth (other cabin options available*), departing from Ushuaia.

We’re seeking 5-9 intrepid adventurers and photographers to join this special expedition, capturing the peak of the whales’ feeding season, exploring epic landscapes, and encountering penguins, seals, and birds. Expertly guided by the Chimu Expedition team, we’ll use Zodiacs for photography sessions and land on Antarctica.

Led by Jay, with 2 seasons experience in Antarctica, and decades of photography teaching, you’ll refine your craft and capture emotive images. Express your interest, and a Chimu Adventures consultant will handle your booking, flights, and trip preparations. Don’t miss this extraordinary journey to the wildest continent on earth!

Come and join Sony Advocate Jay Evans as we explore an iconic walking track in the Blue Mountains on this epic 2 Day photo walk.

Split into 2 days with a separate session each day, Day 1 we will traverse the area around the Southern Escarpment between Katoomba and Gordon Falls. Day 2 we will explore the remainder from Leura all the way to Wentworth Falls.

The Grand Clifftop Track covers a distance of 15kms, traversing the southern escarpment of the Jamison Valley, beginning at the iconic Scenic World and Reids Plateau, finishing at Wentworth Falls. Comprised of several sections of track encompassing the Prince Henry Cliff Walk, Sublime Point, Lillians Bridge Trail, and the Overcliff/Undercliff Walks.

This epic trail has recently undergone a transformation, repairing flood damaged tracks to rebuild a legacy of the tourism and industrial history, combined with the natural and cultural values of this area of the Blue Mountains. There is no better way to introduce yourself to the wonders of the Blue Mountains than to complete this trail.

As we traverse the clifftop track, we take in Katoomba Falls, The Three Sisters, Leura Cascades, Elysian Rock, Pool of Siloam, Sublime Point, Valley of the Waters, Den Fenella Falls, and Wentworth Falls, traversing the iconic trail through eucalypt forest, hanging swamps and sandstone cliffs. Plus, at this time of year, a startling array of colourful wildflowers intermixed with the wildlife in the many varieties of birds (cockatoos, eagles, lyrebirds, wattlebirds), plus many other insects, snakes and reptiles.

One of my most popular tours, introducing you to the Magical Mountains. Available as a 2 day fixed date tour for a maximum of 5 people. This tour guides you across the photography hotspots and many locations only locals know about. Focused on capturing the wide variety of photography the Blue Mountains has to offer capturing Sunrise and sunset across deep valley vistas, and descending into fern and moss lined gullies and rainforests to capture the waterfalls. Not just for photographers, you will also be guided on the natural values of the region introducing you to the flora, fauna, geology and guiding you on the industrial and tourist history. There is no better way to explore the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains.

Our most popular Tour introduces you to the Wonder of Waterfalls in the World Heritage Listed Blue Mountains. Available as a 1 day fixed date tour for a maximum of 4 people. This tour will take you across a stunning array of waterfalls where we guide you to some sublime locations and tutor you on the photography techniques that will capture the best long exposure images of flowing water among the lush green mosses and ferns our waterfalls are renowned for.

Bringing back my series of successful Astrophotography Workshops, come and join me for a night under the mesmerizing night skies in the Blue Mountains while learning the techniques required to capture stunning milky way, star trail and nightscape photos. You will be collected from Katoomba Railway Station and transported to each of our specially selected locations in our dedicated touring 4WD, where we will take you through our signature Landscape Astrophotography and Nightscapers training package and then working to set our cameras to begin our night of capturing the night skies. We then travel between various locations capturing a variety of different astro images until we conclude once the Milky Way is out of view. Once we have completed our workshop, you are welcome to join in an online session the next evening (or as arranged with the whole group) to run through my simple and effective Astro image workflows in Lightroom and Photoshop to help you bring out the best of your images from the evening.
