MELBOURNE BY NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
with Matt Krumins Photography
CAPTURE THE BIG CITY LIGHTS
Night photography poses a unique set of challenges but it doesn’t have to be difficult! My Melbourne by Night photography workshop busts the technical jargon out of the picture leaving you to express your creativity and get great low light cityscape shots every time. We delve into composition, quick tips for instant improvement and break down the complex settings that are holding your photography back all whilst capturing stunning imagery of Melbourne and it’s glowing lights!
SHUTTER & APERTURE
Wrap your head around how your settings interact, giving you endless possibilities with your night photography. Capture both ultra sharp skylines and beautiful light trails.
BUILD DRAMATIC COMPOSITIONS
Learn my process for pulling together dramatic compositions using simple steps that anyone can achieve.
UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY
Break the mould and get an insight into rarely seen photography techniques that open up a whole new world of creativity.
WORKSHOP DETAILS
Small groups = More Personalisation.
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
1. MEET & GREET
2. SETINGS RECAP
3. SHOOTING
5. SUPPORT
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
You’ll need a camera with access to some manual settings for this workshop as the techniques we cover rely heavily on Aperture & Shutter Priority mode. This doesn’t mean you need to know how to use these modes just yet, we just need access to them for the workshop.
Please make sure you have a fully charged battery and space on your memory card.
I always recommend brining a range of lenses if you have them (both wide/telephoto) as they they can be key to achieving interesting compositions.
You will need a tripod for this workshop. If you don’t have one I can arrange a loan tripod for you but you must contact me in advance.
A Remote shutter release is not critical for this workshop but if you have one, bring it along.
It can be cold in Melbourne at night so please dress appropriately and check the weather forecast before the workshop in case there is a chance of light showers.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
In photography we never stop learning, so whether you are an enthusiast photographer or or a complete beginner, my small course size will give you plenty of one-on-one attention to ensure new ideas and concepts can be tailored to your experience level.
Awesome! In night photography rain is actually an incredible thing giving us amazing reflections to use in our photographs. If we have light showers or a bit of drizzle we will be out there making the most of it however if we have sustained rain re-booking vouchers will be issued so you can rebook on a date at your convenience.
That said, I always recommend bringing a waterproof jacket as even on a sunny day Melbourne can show off it’s unique ability to change on a dime!
Your Melbourne by Night photography workshop is limited to a very small group giving you plenty of one-on-one instruction as well as personal attention relevant to your camera brand and model.
Also, I believe that photography concepts take practice and time so at the conclusion of your workshop you will be invited to an exclusive online support group where you can continue to grow your photography alongside other workshop participants!
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?










Thanks again Matt.













😊





Lightroom is something that I have struggled with for a few years and just could not grasp the basics. They way Matt breaks it down and the friendly, informative way it was presented, all suddenly started to make sense.
Matt could not of been any more helpful and displays an outstanding knowledge of the subject. It was my first course with Matt but certainly won’t be my last. Looking forward to doing more of the wide range of course he offers.

Highly recommend!






Matt made the process of learning and understanding fun and very helpful.
Now to go practice.
Thanks for a great time and all your help.




I came away with a better idea of what I needed to do to help myself. He provided a convenient set of tips on laminated cards as a takeaway support tool. Best thing was his help on settings for my camera; but he seemed to know enough on all the makes and models in our group.
Highly recommended.













Adding to my review, since completing the beginners course I also completed the Street and Travel which was fantastic! The pandemic restrictions hit but that didn’t stop Matt. He found a virtual way to deliver some of the courses. So I gave it a shot with the Compositions workshop and it was truly worth it. Following that we were able to be out and about so I completed the all day Seascapes and Peninsulas workshop. We learned to use ND filters and become more familiar with our cameras, well worth it! I also attended a four day photography festival where Matt was one of the organisers and presenters. Needless to say it was jam packed and has kept me busy during ISO. Most recently I completed the mastering manual workshop and it did not disappoint and is well worth it. If you are looking to learn more about photography in a practical way, just book in with Matt, you won’t regret it!





Would definitely recommend others to attend his workshops and 10/10 would attend more of his workshops.
Thank you so much once again!











Additionally he seems to know how every camera works so even if you don’t it’s okay because he does.
Thanks Matt.


The most recent addition was a 3 hour 1 on 1 workshop with Matt to recap and cover off ideas for an upcoming trip to Sri Lanka.
Matt is incredibly patient and a great teacher and has an ability to be able to explain complex explanations in a way that is easily relatable and you will remember.
The 1 on 1 workshop allowed me to ask as many questions as possible.
I also had the opportunity to explore filters and Speed lighting which I had never even considered before.
Would highly recommend Matt’s workshops he goes above and beyond for each and every one of his students !



Matt's small group workshops are the best way to enjoy life in small groups and get out and about while the public is sparse.
He's got plenty of sanitizer available and all classes are contactless.
Never stop learning! It's a great opportunity!




I attended his very helpful city night photography class and hope to do more with him in future.





great tips funny and easy to understand
highly recommend








This was a fantastic workshop. Learnt heaps and stepped out of my comfort zone. Matt is a great teacher and I am looking forward to doing more of his courses.





> Matt has a way of explaining technical jargon in layman’s terms.
> Matt breaks down the course into bite size chunks in a very logical order.
> well structured so that you can understand key components of any camera such that when you go out and take pics you apply what you have just learned and maximise your cameras settings
> Matt spends one on one time with participants in a small group to answer all your questions in full.
> gives you instant feedback on your photos so that you can take that pic again with better knowledge
5 out of 5 stars. Great course. I’ll definitely recommend Matt’s course to my friends and family.



I highly recommend this workshop with Matt.



Matt is a very talented and creative man.
as a beginner I couldn't believe how much I have learned in only 3 hours.
I really liked his approach to photography and how he teaches to see and observe everything around us.
I was in a small group of very nice people, so it wasn't crowded and easy to get individual guidelines from Matt.
highly recommended guys!
