“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 specialness is deepened immeasurably by the significance of the island as a haven for wildlife. All twelve endemic bird species of Tasmania live on Bruny - 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 to form so participants can connect with their subject matter, lunawanna-alonnah.
We want participants to leave having learned about the natural values of Bruny Island, how those natural values are nurtured and protected and by whom. Hopefully they will also leave as a better photographer.
Marcio and Dan can't wait to guide this Life on Earth Photography Workshop and look forward to sharing the spoils of the day right here on Kuno.

For photographers of nature
The power and purpose of photography
Photography serves many needs. It can inspire us to travel or to care for place. It can elicit emotion. A photograph can tell one story or a thousand stories. Photography has magical power when used with purpose.
Lesson 1: Connect with your corner of Earth
Every story of success in protecting nature through human history starts with one person who felt a deep love for and connection with their corner of planet Earth.
