Small-group workshops, built with a collective standard.
CLC brings photographers together to co-host landscape, seascape, and night workshops across Australia and New Zealand—with real planning, field mentorship, and a compliance backbone that makes running workshops actually doable.
Collaborate
Co-host workshops, share skills, build momentum together. CLC exists to create the collaboration culture missing in Australian and New Zealand landscape photography.
Instructor Pathway
A supported on-ramp for great photographers to step into workshops—with a consistent client experience, planning system, and field structure you don't have to invent from scratch.
Compliance Backbone
Permit packs, templates, and practical guidance so red tape doesn't kill world-class workshops. We handle the councils, DOC, safety plans, and risk assessments.
What a CLC workshop feels like
Small groups (3–6 per instructor)
Maximum guidance, depending on location and access requirements
Field mentorship that teaches the why
Not just settings to copy—you leave with clarity you can repeat
Professional planning
Light, tides, moon, weather, and access handled upfront
Permissions where required
We operate with care and respect for locations
Workshops are released as they're scheduled. Guest instructors join select trips in 2026–27.
How we protect the experience
Mentorship-led
We teach the why, not just settings to copy. You leave with clarity you can repeat.
Limited seats
Typically 3–6 per instructor for maximum guidance, depending on access requirements.
Professional planning
Locations, timing, and conditions matter. We plan around reality, not wishful thinking.
Run properly
Workshops in Australia/NZ aren't "pick a spot and go". We plan access, permissions, safety, and delivery so the experience is smooth and defensible.
Seascapes
Sunrise timing, swell reading, long exposure, and composition in real conditions.
Landscapes
Light, framing, field technique, and a workflow you can repeat anywhere.
Astro & Night
Milky Way foundations, star trails, low-light focus, and clean capture technique.
