NORFOLK ISLAND · 14–21 MAY 2027

PHOTOGRAPH NORFOLK ISLAND

An eight-day small-group photography journey through dramatic coastlines, World Heritage landscapes and the island’s remarkable changing light.

With John Armytage and Craig Williams

🌊 LIMITED TO 6 PHOTOGRAPHERS

AN ISLAND MADE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Set in the South Pacific between Australia and New Zealand, Norfolk Island brings together dramatic coastlines, pristine bays, historic ruins and distinctive island light within one remarkable destination.

Over eight carefully planned days, you’ll photograph rugged sea cliffs, secluded beaches, towering Norfolk Island pines and the World Heritage-listed landscapes of Kingston and Arthur’s Vale.

Led by John Armytage and Craig Williams, this small-group workshop combines relaxed exploration with practical, personalised photography guidance. With only six photographers, there is plenty of time to work thoughtfully at each location, ask questions and develop your creative approach.

Whether you’re building confidence with your camera or refining years of experience, you’ll be supported in creating stronger compositions, working with changing light and returning home with images that capture the character of Norfolk Island.
