Meet up for a dawn water shoot

About the event

Come join me for a sunrise water shoot at my local beach, Arataki.

Rain, hail or shine we'll be out there at dawn, you never know unless you go! 

This is more of a fun meetup than a workshop, but I'll be on hand to give tips or answer any questions you might have. It'll be a great opportunity to meet with other water shooters and you can't go wrong seeing in a new day from the ocean.

You must have your own camera, housing and flippers. Any skill level is fine. Any camera brand is fine. 

After an hour or so shooting I like to hit Special Mention cafe. You're welcome to come along and we can review your images over a coffee. 

Techniques covered

  • Water photography
  • Swimming in the surf

What to bring

  • Camera
  • Housing
  • Wetsuit
  • Flippers
  • Coffee money
