About the event

Back by popular demand in 2023, we bring you an exclusive surf shooting experience at URBNSURF with Sony Australia and Sony Digital Imaging Advocate, Dylan Giannakopoulos.

During this 2.5-hour photography workshop you will have exclusive shooting access to Australia’s first surf park (URBNSURF). With guaranteed waves and access to Sonys best gear, including GMaster lenses and long telephoto lenses (including the Sony 600mm f/4 GM OSS G Lens), you will capture phenomenal action surf photographs.

Hosted by Sony Digital Imaging Advocate, Dylan Giannakopoulos, and guided by a team of Sony Imaging specialists and Croydon Camera House, learn how to shoot surf photography from the experts. Dylan will share his knowledge of photographing sports, from composition ideas to camera settings and storytelling. Sony Imaging specialists will be on hand facilitating the loan gear, assisting guests with camera settings and helping you discover the full power of the Sony system.

URBNSURF has a strict no cameras policy, but we have been able to gain you exclusive shooting access for this event! Do not miss the opportunity to capture action surf photographs in a controlled environment. Plus, there will be exclusive offers on Sony gear for all attendees thanks to Croydon and Ringwood Camera House.

This is a Sony event but is open to all skill levels and all photographers, all camera brand users are welcome.

To make this day even better you will receive a Croydon Camera House voucher for $50 to use towards any Sony purchase over $500 (valid for one month from date of event).

About the venue

URBNSURF Melbourne is Australia’s first surf park, located at 309 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine. We deliver perfect waves and incredible surfing experiences for all ages and abilities in a safe, controlled environment.

Typically you needed an ocean, and the elements to align (swell, tide, winds, daylight) to score good, let alone perfect waves. And if you want to learn, or are chasing surf, you have to commit time to driving to a coast, checking multiple spots, and be willing to battle crowds at popular breaks. There’s also the risk of marine hazards, including rips, the cold, and hungry monsters of the deep. So what’s the solution?

URBNSURF parks, providing perfect, ocean-like waves in an authentic, safe and controlled environment, catering to all ages and abilities.
