Capturing the world through a camera lens takes skill and a bit of luck, but it also requires a few senses – namely sight, hearing and touch. A keen eye for your subject, audio awareness for any second-by-second changes and a feel for every part of your shutter, zoom and focus.


As part of Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the Australian National Maritime Museum is pleased to host The Glen Grant Masterclass Series. Over four special events, four award-winning photographers will be in conversation on their work and craft, presented by event partner, The Glen Grant.

 

Photographers will give insights into how they experience and capture the wonders of the natural world, the wildlife they pursue to find that perfect shot, as well as sharing tips, tricks and trade secrets that will deepen every photography journey.

 

Admission to this special event includes whiskey tasting and grazing boards. Bookings are essential.
