Phone Photography workshop in Sydney — Sunset at Coogee Beach

About this tour

Master smartphone photography techniques during a three-hour walk around Coogee Beach at sunset. Learn practical phone features—time-lapse, long exposure, slow-motion video, black-and-white mode, burst shooting, and timer tricks—with hands-on guidance from experienced photographers. You'll apply each technique to real scenes as light changes across the beach, building skills you can use immediately on any phone.

Highlights

• Long exposure for silky water effects and painterly skies
• Time-lapse to capture sunset movement and clouds
• Slow-motion video for dynamic water and light play
• Burst mode timing for unpredictable moments like waves
• Black-and-white conversion for minimal, bold compositions
• Use tripods and macro lens to experiment safely
• One-to-one feedback from professional photographers
• Power banks provided to keep your battery alive

What to expect

You'll spend three hours walking Coogee's foreshore as daylight fades, stopping to photograph specific subjects whilst learning one technique at a time. Guides demonstrate each feature on their own phones first, then you try it on yours with immediate feedback. Expect to shoot the same scene multiple ways—landscape, portrait, black-and-white, time-lapse—to understand when each tool works. The pace is relaxed; you're not racing to cover ground but staying put long enough for light to shift and reveal new possibilities.
