“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” – Ansel Adams
In the first of a series of 'Life on Earth' workshops, Kuno combines the talents of Brazilian filmmaker and wildlife photographer, Marcio Conrado and Tasmanian conservationist and wilderness photographer, Dan Broun, who will guide you through the fascinating vocation of conservation photography.
Marcio will lead the instruction on photographing wildlife, with a particular focus on the rich birdlife of Bruny Island.
Dan will lead instruction on landscape photography and how to use your skills for positive conservation outcomes, all in some stunning locations.
Both Dan and Marcio have extensive filmmaking experience and will happily provide some instruction on video techniques in natural landscapes.
The day will be broken into three parts. Half of the group will go with Marcio in the morning while the other half will go with Dan. We will meet as a larger group for lunch at The Izzy Bar before switching groups.
Bruny Island is well known for its soaring sea cliffs. plentiful wildlife and artisan crafted products - but that is only part of the story of Bruny.
lunawanna-alonnah is the original name for Bruny Island and wherever one travels on the island evidence of First Nations people is everywhere - our visit on their land will be gentle, informative and respectful.
This special quality is further deepened by the significance of the island as a haven for wildlife. All 12 endemic bird species of Tasmania live on Bruny Island, and our guide will take you to a property where inspiring efforts are being made to help them survive and thrive.
“For a photographer, having an observant mind is more important than having an expensive camera.” ― Sukant Ratnakar
We agree with Sukrant, and while we will provide technical instruction on the day we will also allow for the necessary space so participants can connect with their subject matter, lunawanna-alonnah.
We want participants to leave the day inspired, having learnt about the natural values of Bruny Island, and how these values are nurtured, protected and by whom. Hopefully they will also leave as an inspired photographer.
Marcio and Dan are looking forward to guiding this Life on Earth photography course. They look forward to also sharing some of the spoils of the day here on Kuno.

Time: 7:00am to 7:00pm
Meet: Car park of Oyster Bay Inn, Kettering
Cost: $600 per person
