We're going on a Roadtrip!

It's time to bring the The Clique Workshops down the East Coast of Australia for 3 amazing days of Surf Photography.

Byron Bay, Saturday 1st February

Sydney (Northern Beaches), Saturday 8th February

Melbourne (URBN SURF Wave Pool), Wednesday 12th February

Our friends at URBN Surf have just opened up their premier wave pool in the heart of Tullamarine, Melbourne for a unique surfing experience. What better way to learn the skills of Surf Photography then in a controlled environment! We're going to be absolutely treated with a beautiful day out at the wave pool with guaranteed perfect conditions and perfect waves...how good is that!? We will have 2 x 1 hr sessions in the Wave Pool, both in the Morning and the Afternoon, so you have a chance to refine your skills. In between, we'll be diving deep into editing, business chats and workshops based around the surf, fashion and lifestyle photography industry! You’ll also have access to the very best gear to learn on, from our partner Aquatech Imaging Solutions who will be providing equipment on the day.

THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU IF:

• You’ve wanted to get into surf and underwater photography but never quite knew where to start.

• You may find the surf and photography industry a little daunting and need some guidance into how to navigate your way through it!

• You want to learn in a safe, nurturing and relaxed environment with women who are uplifting and encouraging.

Our Aim: Our aim for this workshop is to provide a fun, relaxed and nurturing environment for women to gain industry knowledge, learn valuable surf photography techniques and achieve their photography dreams! We want to provide the opportunity for women to use world class equipment and learn how to unlock their creative potential in the industry.
