Some days seem bigger than others — and A Nice Day Out on Rottnest will be one of our biggest.
We’re going overseas (!) on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, doing photography sessions, seeing Rottnest Island by bus, with drop-offs and having a great lunch. And there will be time to get a real feel for the island.
The day will be in the company of Travel Editor Stephen Scourfield and Travel Lead Photographer Mogens Johansen.
Both are professional and long-time career photographers. They are fully across phones and cameras and will help with tips and tricks for all models. And they will help their companions to develop their eye for composition.
Stephen says: “Yes, it will be a nice day out … but it will also give our guests a lot of insight into how we travel, photograph what we see, collect information and impressions, and then write stories.
“So, as much as the day will be about travelling with like-minded friends, it will also be inspirational — and hopefully give our companions some thoughts about how to get more from their own, longer journeys and holidays.”
