JOIN US FOR A WILDLIFE ADVENTURE IN THE
NORTHERN TERRITORY
Join our Top End wildlife photography workshop as we explore some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems in the Northern Territory, starting around Darwin’s coastal fringes. We begin at Buffalo Creek and Lee Point, where tidal flats, mangroves, and coastal birdlife offer incredible opportunities for dynamic compositions, especially in the soft light of early morning and late afternoon. These locations are perfect for capturing shorebirds, raptors, and the ever-changing textures of the intertidal zone.
From there we move into the sheltered harbour and parkland environments of East Point Reserve, where wallabies, seabirds, and dramatic coastline scenes provide a rich contrast to the wetlands. We then head inland to the iconic floodplains of Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, one of the most reliable wildlife photography locations in Australia, where magpie geese, jabiru, and crocodiles can often be photographed in close proximity, particularly during golden hour when reflections and backlight transform the landscape.
Deeper into the Top End, we explore the vast wetland systems of Corroboree Billabong and the world-renowned waterways of Yellow Water Billabong, where dense birdlife, crocodiles, and mirrored sunrise scenes create unforgettable photographic moments. We round out the journey in the historic outback township of Pine Creek, where rugged landscapes and remnants of the gold rush era add a dramatic final chapter to an immersive wildlife and landscape photography experience through Australia’s tropical north.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
As with all our workshops, you just need to get yourself to Darwin
and we will take care of the rest!
Being all-inclusive means that you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the wonderful experience of being away and indulging in your passion for photography.
WHY COME WITH US?
Since I started these workshops back in 2005, I have always offered the same experience for our guests - a fun, relaxed holiday for keen photographers who want to learn more about photography while returning home with photographs and memories they could only dream of.
Our all-inclusive, luxury photographic workshops are customised with you in mind - I make sure I get you to the right place, at the right time, for the best light and the best photographic opportunities.
And given that I organise everything, all you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the experience.
I pride myself in putting YOU first. I'm not there to get photos for myself. I'm there to help you take incredible photographs and remember your experience for many years to come.
Many of our participants return year after year to enjoy our hospitality. So step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself a little. Give yourself the opportunity to fine-tune your photographic skills as you stretch your horizons and capture something truly extraordinary.
I look forward to welcoming you on this workshop soon.
Cheers Tom Putt

I teach landscape photography because I'm passionate about photography and helping others enjoy this fantastic creative outlet. What could be better than appreciating the outdoors and capturing it in your own special way? I pride myself on doing the best for our clients and having them come back time and time again to enjoy the many adventures we go on together.
Most years our workshops are filled with repeat guests, a testiment to the high level of tuition and experience we provide.
