Bright Photography Bootcamp

with Matt Krumins Photography

5 DAYS OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Mastering photography doesn’t happen overnight, it takes practice, dedication and fun to keep the spark alive and to progress. The Bright Photography Bootcamp isn’t just a a photo-taking tour, it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in a wide range of different styles of photography for 5 days with a small group of like-minded people with a bunch of laughs. Over 5 days we hone in on the settings and techniques for landscape, astro, sunrise, sunset and macro as well as refining your image processing skills to transform photos into artwork.

To get you up to speed and ensure no-one is left behind we kick start our bootcamp with a theory session covering the basics, all the way through to manual settings, histograms and composition. I pride myself on making learning easy and relatable and this is the perfect opportunity to join me in one of Victoria’s most picturesque locations for a trip to change your photography forever.

With our group limited to just 6 people this is your chance to get the one-on-one help you need to take your photos to the next level and have a good laugh with great people whilst you are at it.

CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULE

5 uninterrupted days to wrap your head around your photography without the distractions and rush of non-photographers.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

VICTORIA'S BEST

Bright is one of the most diverse and beautiful settings for photographers. Mountains, waterfalls, wildlife and a brewery!

ALL BRANDS ALL MODELS

Do you want a personalised approach specific to your camera? You’ve found it. With years of experience and thousands of workshop participants you’d be hard pressed to find a camera brand or model that I don’t know my way around.

WORKSHOP PLAN

Meet at 12:30pm on Monday and finishing at 12:30pm on Friday.

1. GENRES

Throughout our stay in Bright we play to the weather conditions and opportunities. We aim to cover Astro Photography, sunrises and sunsets, macro photography, long exposure waterfalls, wildlife and speedlights and light painting.

2. TECHNIQUES

As we learn and photograph throughout the week we add more and more to your photography arsenal. We look at histograms, focus modes and methods, HDR and bracketing as well as composition techniques.

3. SHOOT

With so much covered over the week it's a great opportunity to build your portfolio of images in many genres with step-by-step guidance from yours truly.

4. EDIT

If we're not on top of a mountain, shooting stars or playing in a waterfall we usually find ourselves at the Brewery going through editing techniques with a cold beer or a nice glass of local King Valley red.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

CAMERA

You’ll need a camera… yep. This course is perfect for almost any type/size/brand/model of camera however you’ll get the most out of this bootcamp if you have access to manual settings and have interchangeable lenses.

LENSES

This bootcamp covers a whole range of genres so it’s a good idea to have a wide angle lens, a general zoom lens, and a telephoto lens as a base. A bonus is a macro lens and a nice prime lens but these aren’t essential.

OTHER CAMERA GEAR

-Laptop with Lightroom or similar editing software

–Tripod

–Polarising Filter

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT EXPERIENCE LEVEL DO I NEED TO BE?

We cover A LOT of content on this workshop but we start from the ground up so even as a beginner you will be more than welcome. I pride myself on having small groups to cater to everyones needs and this bootcamp is no different. You will be surrounded by all levels of photographers from entry level to experienced all who share the same goals, to improve and have some fun.

WHAT IS THE WET WEATHER PLAN?

We get wet. Wet and stormy conditions are what incredible landscape imagery is made of so unless it’s dangerous to be out then we will be out shooting. In the event of really bad rain we tend to hit the brewery for an editing and theory session whilst it passes.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Everyone travels differenly. Some of us love sleeping under the stars and some of us prefer just 5 stars and so I am leaving your accommodation choice in your own hands. This allows you to choose your budget, choose who you travel with and choose how long you stay before and after the workshop. I do suggest staying in or close to town though as we meet there and end there each day.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?

"If you are thinking of joining Matt for one of his workshops, then do it! Matt is an enthusiastic teacher who manages to get some tricky concepts off in a fun and simple way. Your photos will never look better. I joined him for the Bright Boot Camp and learned so much. And I came away with some photos that I had never dreamed that I would create!"

Recently I attended Matt’s Portrait & Lighting Workshop. Matt’s easy going style simplified the more technical aspects of lighting both in and out of doors. The limited group number made for more personal contact and engagement as well as a lot of fun. I am in no doubt Matt’s knowledge and presentation skills transmit to all of his workshops and on that basis I recommend his workshops to all who wish to improve their photographic skills. Thanks Matt for a great day!

My mum bought me this experience for my Birthday/Christmas and although I was extremely anxious in doing it, it turned out to be great. I Loved the Melbourne zoo work shop, as a new beginner, I had no idea what I was doing with my camera, Matt helped us all learn the different functions on each of our cameras, this has given me the knowledge and confidence to keep working on my new photography hobby! 10/10 recommended!!

I recently attended Matt’s street photography workshop which was an incredibly rewarding experience. The workshop struck the perfect balance between technical guidance and hands-on practice, making it suitable for both beginners and more experienced photographers.Matt was knowledgeable and approachable, breaking down complex concepts like composition, lighting, and storytelling into practical, actionable tips. We also explored how to engage with subjects in a respectful manner, which was particularly valuable for candid street photography.The hands-on component was the highlight. Walking through Melbournes streets and laneways, we had plenty of opportunities to put our newfound skills into practice. Matt provided real-time feedback, helping us refine our shots on the spot. This personalized approach made the learning process much more impactful.What set this workshop apart was its focus on developing a unique perspective. Instead of just focusing on technical perfection, we were encouraged to capture the essence of the streets, its energy, people, and stories.By the end of the workshop, I not only felt more confident in my ability to photograph in public spaces but also walked away with a deeper appreciation for the art of street photography.I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to elevate their street photography skills or simply gain inspiration for their craft. It’s an experience that both teaches and inspires.

I'm a beginner and was looking to better understand how to use my camera. Matt taught me how to make use of some of settings I'd been using incorrectly on my camera and how to better frame my photos. Recommend for anyone looking for an intro to photography.

Below is a review which I wrote after attending one of Matt's workshops in previous years. Towards the end of 2024 I enrolled again in his Travel & Street Photography where, as usual, he covered basic settings for those who required assistance while at the same time emphasing to all of the small group of six how to creatively take different kinds of shots. I also attended, for the first time, the Advanced Wildlife Photography at Healesville Sanctuary, which is one of his newer offerings. It was a great day and while a lot of the shots needed discarding, I'm sure everyone managed to produce some memorable keepers. On both occasions, Matt's favorite technique seemed to be getting down LOW but needless to say he came back up with some excellent images.Matt's workshops are always highly enjoyable and very worthwhile. Yesterday's Real World Portraits certainly met these criteria and I felt that the other participants felt the same as I did. I attended this workshop for the second time as I wanted to practise getting quicker at making better decisions on the spot which, in turn, would produce better photos. While I still feel that I failed to do this sufficiently well in too many instances - particularly in getting clear, uncluttered backgrounds - it was a useful exercise and Matt was nearby to offer praise in a few instances (I'm not sure whether was deserved or not though) and suggestions for improvements in other cases. This is an important advantage of his small-group workshops, with only six other participants. After yeserday's experience, I feel confident enough to return to the city to photograph buskers and any other individuals with sufficient allure who are also willing to be photographed. I realise that lots and lots of practice is necessary to become a better photographer and I am grateful to Matt for what I have learned from his guided instruction at various workshops to date. I strongly recommend anyone living within commuting distance to Melbourne to take advantage of the sessions which he offers in person.

I attended Matt's workshop last Friday. I learnt so much about my flash and what I can achieve and in what situations. My flash will certainly get lots of use rather than sit in my kit. Thanks Matt - it was a great day.

Fleur Ferguson

I recently attended one of Matt's incredible photography workshop. From the very first moment, the energy was upbeat, welcoming, and inspiring. Matt is not only an expert photographer but also fantastic teachers who genuinely cared about helping everyone grow, no matter their skill level. Matt broke down complex techniques into easy-to-understand concepts and shared tips that I could immediately apply.The hands-on experience was my favorite part—whether it was experimenting with lighting, composition, or learning how to capture those perfect moments, I felt supported every step of the way.I walked away with so much new knowledge, but also a newfound confidence in my own abilities. The whole workshop was not only educational but also a lot of fun. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their photography skills to the next level while having a great time doing it!Thanks Matt!

Matt's street photography workshop was great. Small group so you got to ask lots of questions and learn a lot. Matt is really friendly and helpful for people of all experience levels. I'd highly recommend and will quite possibly do another of his workshops in the future.

If you are a passionate photographer and would like to learn more about photography then Matt Krumins photography workshops are a must for you. I had the pleasure of being part of Matt’s Night Photography workshop last Saturday evening. Wow! What a wonderful night it was. I learnt so much about my camera and night photography that it has blown my mind. Many thanks Matt. You are great teacher. I am looking forward to joining many more workshop groups in the coming months.

I did the beginners course at the Melbourne Zoo last week and absolutely loved it! Matt was very helpful in explaining how to use certain functions on your camera in a way that was easy to understand. I've done workshops before and left totally zapped and couldn't remember a thing! This course is so worth it. I'm looking forward to attending another one soon. ☺️

I did the beginners course at the Melbourne Zoo today and it was fantastic. Matt is super engaging and makes complicated topics easy to understand for beginners. There were no egos or techy-babble. I feel much more comfortable with my new camera and am looking forward to taking it on my holiday. I learned so much more in 3 hours than I ever did watching You Tube tutorials. Thanks Matt!

Lidia Slucki

1725567471

I spent a few hours with Matt going over how to use Program, Aperture and Shutter modes; histogram and how to read it; focus options on camera; generally getting to know my camera and functions better. He’s a great teacher - listening skills, reflective comment, manages expectations of what can be achieved in a session, summarises what we’ve covered. Learnt a lot and appreciated him taking notes which he forwarded post session. Hard to find a photographer with such proficiency in both the technical as well as teaching ability.

Leigh Shanks

This was a brilliant experience. Matt explained cameras and photography in a really basic way that even I could understand. It was amazing to see how much better my photos were immediately. Thanks for being my camera translator.

Making Sense of the 'P' :)What an amazing day. Matt was sensational! He explained everything clearly and made the processess relatable. He introduced us to the 'P' on our cameras and explained away the 'scary' and uncertainty. I found it so educational and had many 'ah ha' moments. Thank you Matt, a fun morning followed by lots of experimenting in the afternoon as you can see by all the attached photos :)

Chris & Jess Hall

1723855851

This was not only a fun day at the zoo but Matt introduced the foundations of photography without it being overwhelming. He gave clear, good examples and explanations and there was no expectation that you knew anything prior. I am now confident that I can use my camera and I know the important features I can use to get the best from my photos. Keen to keep building on my skills. Thanks so much Matt!

I recently did a one on one course with Matt to get an understanding of how to setup the camera for underwater shots. The lesson was informative and at a level I could understand. Having now put it into practice it has made a vast improvement on my shots. Would throughly recommend Matts course.2/3/24I just completed the Travel and Street workshop with Matt and found it very enjoyable. The content was explained in an easy to understand manner and it has given me a new perspective of taking photos. Would highly recommended doing this workshop19/7/24I have just completed the portrait and lighting workshop with Matt and again it has been another exceptional workshop. Matt excels in explaining techniques which are easy to understand. The model CJ is a delight to work with and makes you feel at ease. If you are looking to learn how to make the best use of lightning I would certainly recommend the workshop.

I joined a beginners photography course with Matt at the Melbourne Zoo Sunday, even though a bit chilly and cold it was a terrific three hours. I was a little tentative being a beginner.,however Matt soon dispelled any nerves.I was impressed by his attention to not only the group but each individual.His explanations and instructions were clear and he certainly set me up with a greater understanding of the basics of my camera.His easygoing nature established a wonderful rapport with the group. It was fun! I look forward to working with him in another workshop, .I highly recommend them.

Today I joined Matt's Travel & Streeet phtography workshop. I enjoyed the time and it opened my viewing to different and out of the norm ideas for shooting. Some great prspectives to work with in my travels. I defineltly recommend joining one of Matt's workshops. I will when i can align to my brief visits to Melb. NigelH

Leanne Cochrane

1719133309

Cannot recommend this enough! For someone who doesn’t have an overly expensive camera (still waiting to see if I can take decent photos before buying one) this was brilliant. Matt knows about all cameras and patiently walked me through any changes with the settings to get the best shots. The street photography course has taught me so much, not just about the features on my camera, but also how to frame a shot smarter (something that normally results in me deleting most photos after I take them…)

Melina Kelsey

1719097670

I attended Matt's Adv Wildlife Workshop at Healesville Sanctuary yesterday. The day was well planned with mixing up theory with practice and refining my skills. Matt is patient and knowledgeable, and was able to help me with settings on my camera and teaching me the why rather than a recipe to follow. I feel a lot more confident with taking photos of wildlife and I had a most enjoyable day walking around the sanctuary in a small group. I thoroughly recommend Matt and attending one of his workshops , you won't be disappointed!!

David Lucas

1719045176

I've done a few of Matt's workshops - Melbourne by Night, Travel and Street, and Advanced Wildlife. Matt is a great guy and a natural teacher, and also makes it a long of fun. There's no techno-babble, just plain English that's good for all skill levels, whether you're a beginner or you have some experience and want to brush up. These workshops are small groups so everyone gets all the help they need, and he also knows about all the various camera brands and can help everyone with settings. 10/10 highly recommended.

Tracy Rosengarten

1719025857

I cannot recommend Matt Krummins Bright Bootcamp highly enough. Each day is filled to the brim with learning opportunities. Not a minute is wasted. On the first day you are ask what your goals are and everything mentioned on that day is covered at some stage during that week. His knowledge is second to none, and his humour and patience makes the experience even more fun. There is never a dull moment but he is also 100% dedicated to helping you learn.The places we were taken to for our photos were varied and beautiful and the editing sessions, both during and after the boot camp is finished, really topped it off.Thanks Matt for the fantastic experience

Bright Bootcamp this year was the most amazing experiences for me. Matt is the greatest teacher ever! The whole week was so busy. Not a minute was wasted. Matt is very attentive, always in a good mood, patient. He knows how to explain complex things in simple language. The Bootcamp was not only useful and educational, but also fun and adventure. And yes... I learned so much! Highly recommend.

Joan Muller

1715386651

Attended Matt Krumins Photography Bootcamp conducted in and around Bright, Victoria, autumn 2024. As a beginner to intermediate photographer and an older, retired person passionate about photography, I wondered at my ability to ‘keep up’. I need not have had misgivings. The pace suited all ages and most abilities. Matt is a patient, knowledgeable teacher who ensures all participants understand their equipment, the appropriate settings and achieve ‘the shot’. The combination of theory and practice, photography tips and tricks is key to understanding what to do and why we do it. I achieved so many new skills on this extended workshop e.g. Astro, hand held macro with lighting that I previously struggled with. Thank you Matt. This ‘Bootcamp’ is highly recommended.

Kerry Jennings

1715244544

Bright Bootcamp,I attended the most wonderful week in Bright and surrounding areas, Matt is the best teacher, understands all camera brands, patient and gives the best guidance to get that perfect landscape shot, booklets and cards full of valuable tips are also given to each attendee, Matt took us to the most amazing places to get those wonderful shots , nature, fresh air and the quality of the whole week was a major highlight, highly recommended.

Went on the Macro workshop Monday 22 April at Mt Macedon. With a small group we all had plenty of one on one tutorial and learnt so much.

I did two photography workshops with Matt - Night Photography in Melbourne and a one-on-one Underwater Photography workshop too. Matt has a real talent for breaking down complex topics and making them easy to understand. On top of that, his courses are fun and he’s a genuinely nice guy too. I’ll definitely be booking more workshops with him.

David Marland

Matt's style is to help people learn rather than tell people what to do. The speedlight workshop was well paced, allowed people at all levels of experience to both enjoy and explore things they did not think were possible with simple equipment. Excellent value and wonderful company.

Matt - thanks again for another great workshop (Travel and Street).

For anyone looking for a fun, relaxed, and easy to understand workshop, I highly recommend Matt's workshops. His ability to take technical concepts and break it down to something easy to understand (and actually remember) is the real value-add. This is my second workshop and definitely won't be my last!

I highly recommend Matt's Seascape Workshop. Matt was very knowledgeable about my camera system (Olympus) and happy to answer my questions about everything from camera gear to processing. The small group size meant that Matt could cater to all our needs and skill levels. And best of all it was a really fun day that has me itching to get out shooting more seascapes!!

I first attended Matt's Street photography course way, way, wayyyyy back in 2017, since then life got busy. I recently retired, if you can call it that and remembering how much I enjoyed Matt's course I undertook a few of his pre-recorded online courses, which were also nothing short of excellent.

Recently I booked a face to face session with Matt as I was stuck as to what to do next with my (very old, think prehistoric) camera kit!

You can read all the other reviews here, buy what strikes me about Matt is his incredible passion for photography and how important it is to him for others to really experience that.

Moreover, I was surprised after booking one of his pre-recorded courses that he insisted on refunding me the cost because "it was out of date". Honestly, it was slightly out of date at worst, so much so it made no difference! Than again, shortly after our recent one on one session, much to my surprise he rang me as he wanted to share something he had since found out with me.

This from a guy who has so many commitments.

I also must mention his referral to Nigel at Camera House in Croydon helped me no end, and saved me a few dollars as well!

I can't recommend MKP highly enough!

... and because you asked, courses I've done with Matt:
Travel & Street, Advanced Wildlife, Melbourne by Night, various online courses!

On my bucket list: Lightroom, Speedlight at a minimum!

Matt’s teaching style is well paced and thorough. He takes the time to explain everything well to ensure we understand concepts before moving on. Matt gives us workshop notes and also a recording of zoom sessions so that we can review the sessions as many times as we want. Matt’s groups are small so we get individualised help where needed.

Workshops I’ve done include Master Your Speedlight, Advanced Wildlife and Beginners Lightroom Classic. There is always something new to learn!

Matt's marvellous Melbourne Zoo Workshop for beginners was amazing. The capped, small group size is ideal for learning. Matt displays a passion for sharing his extensive knowledge of photography. He has an engaging approach to teach the basic skills required to use a range of cameras to achieve impressive results in just three hours. I highly recommend this workshop. I have already signed up for another workshop. I am looking forward to progressing my photography skills to the next level with Matt's expert tutelage.

Matt’s Advanced wildlife photography workshop was fantastic. The small group size meant we all had the opportunity to get help and support during the day. We also received great notes for reference later if there’s anything we need a refresher on.
Matt’s workshop has made me think differently about my composition and what exactly I’m trying to achieve.

Janelle Woods

I did the Advanced Wildlife Photography workshop and it exceeded my expectations. A great mix of theory and practice and a great dose of humour. The small group size meant we had plenty of opportunities to get our questions answered. Matt is a fantastic photography teacher - practical, engaging, and easy to understand. I cannot recommend his workshops highly enough. If you've been thinking of doing a workshop, stop thinking and just book it. You won't be disappointed.

Jenny Sheehan

Matt’s Night Photography workshop was fantastic! Learning how to take night photos was wonderful but it was how he helped me see what to put in or leave out of my framing that took my images for ok to stunning!! I have already booked to do another of Matt’s workshops and I can’t wait to see what I will learn this time. I highly recommend Matt and his workshops!!

Jan Wong

1669543419

Matt's Beginner Wildlife Workshop at Melb Zoo was great! I went into it knowing basically nothing about my camera and photography and Matt was able to give us some awesome tips/tricks, as well as a run down of the basics so that we could get our heads around how to start to take more meaningful and beautiful photos :) Matt was super awesome and passionate about sharing his knowledge. Not to mention his analogies were great at dumbing down the theory for me to understand! Thanks for a great day at the zoo Matt - 5 stars and would highly recommend to others wanting to learn about photography!

What a wonderful way to learn about your camera and visit the Zoo. Matt’s way of explaining how all aspects of your camera works is just exceptional. You could ask as many questions and never felt judged. I would recommend this class to any age just amazing. I’m looking forward to many more classes with Matt. Thank you

I’ve now attended both Matt’s introductory workshop at Melbourne Zoo and his advanced Wildlife workshop at Healesville. I highly recommend both, I loved every minute of it and have learnt so much. Matt is an engaging teacher, and so ready with advice and tips. Thankyou!
