Founder + Lead Instructor

Dylan Knight

Dylan Knight is a Sunshine Coast–based photographer with a focus on landscape, seascape and astrophotography, and the founder of Chasing Light Collective. Now in his 10th year behind the camera, Dylan has taught small-group workshops for seven years across Australia and New Zealand. His time living in Utah and extensive work through the American Southwest shaped a style built around strong shapes, texture, and frame-filling compositions. Dylan is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP, PPAQ) with award recognition across multiple major competitions.

Co-Instructor

Nathan Dobbie

Nathan Dobbie is an Australian landscape photographer behind Nature By Nathan, focused on sharing wild places from fresh perspectives, including lesser-known locations and creative angles from familiar destinations. Raised in the Perth Hills, his early connection to nature naturally turned into a deep obsession with photographing it, and his landscape work quickly evolved into regular 4WD travel across Australia. Now based in Tasmania, Nathan has taught photography for eight years through workshops ranging from short sessions to immersive multi-day experiences, and has collaborated on workshops with Nikon Australia and NiSi Filters.

Guest instructors may be added for specific workshops. Each workshop page lists the instructor team and the current group limits for that location.
