Event Description
Our photography walk is designed to explore Melbourne’s rich cultural heritage and significant landmarks, focusing on both historical and contemporary issues of social justice and inclusion. We aim to highlight key Indigenous monuments and other important cultural sites that reflect the diverse history and ongoing journey toward equality in our city.
Led by our knowledgeable and Ondru associated photographer, Shane Lam you’ll learn the basics of photography while capturing these cultural sites throughout Melbourne CBD.
Shane will lead the walk event in Melbourne CBD for beginners in photography, he will teach how to expose properly for your photos and also how to compose successfully for making great images.
This walk promises to be educational, fun, and a meaningful way to appreciate the Indigenous heritage of our city.
At the conclusion of the workshop, we will gather at a local café to share and discuss our photography. It's a great opportunity to enjoy a warm cup of coffee while reflecting on our experiences and the stories captured during the walk.
Please bring your own camera for this event.
