BRISBANE Creative Photo Event

Glynn Lavender Returns to Brisbane After 6 Years!

Two days of inspiration, practical learning and people photography with one of Australia’s most down-to-earth photography educators.

After six years away, Glynn Lavender is returning to Brisbane, bringing his signature blend of practical knowledge, creative insight and refreshingly no-nonsense approach to all things people photography.

Renowned for making photography techniques accessible, achievable and, most importantly, useful in the real world, Glynn has a knack for breaking down complex concepts into simple, practical skills you can put to work immediately. Whether you’re looking to refine your existing techniques, push your creative boundaries or finally get your head around lighting, these workshops are designed to help you see differently, shoot with greater confidence and get more out of your photography.

Two Days. Two Opportunities to Learn.

A Whole New Way of Seeing.

This two-day workshop experience is packed with fresh ideas, practical techniques and plenty of hands-on shooting. Explore new ways of seeing and working with light, discover how to make the most of your surroundings, and learn how to get the best possible results from the equipment you already own.

From understanding and controlling light to turning less-than-ideal locations into fantastic photographic opportunities, Glynn will share the techniques, thought processes and real-world problem-solving skills that make a genuine difference to your images.

You’ll discover how to work smarter, think more creatively and approach your next portrait session with a fresh perspective.

And the best part? This isn’t just about watching and listening — you’ll get to put what you learn into practice.

What to Expect

Each workshop day follows a practical, easy-to-follow format designed to help you understand the techniques before putting them to the test.

Morning: Learn the Skills

Start the day with an engaging, hands-on lesson focused on the techniques and concepts being covered. Glynn will break things down into manageable, real-world lessons, helping you understand not just what to do, but why it works and when to use it.

Lunch: Refuel and Connect

Take a break, recharge and chat with fellow photographers. It’s a great opportunity to share ideas, ask questions and connect with others who share your passion for photography.

Afternoon: Put It Into Practice

This is where the fun really begins! Head into a practical shooting session where you can apply the skills covered in the morning, experiment with new techniques and see how small changes in your approach can make a big difference to your results.

With Glynn’s guidance throughout the process, you’ll have the opportunity to build confidence, try something new and develop techniques you can continue using long after the workshop ends.

Flash Photography Without the Fear!

Curious about flash but not sure where to start? Already using flash but struggling to get the results you want?

The flash workshop is a fantastic opportunity to demystify artificial lighting and discover just how creative and versatile it can be.

No flash equipment? No problem! Lighting equipment will be provided on the day, so you don’t need to own a flash system or invest in new gear before attending. Simply come along, learn the fundamentals and explore what’s possible.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to take your lighting skills to the next level, you’ll gain practical insights into working with flash and learn how to make it work for you, rather than letting it dictate your photography.

Make More of the Gear You Already Own

Great photography isn’t simply about having the latest equipment or finding the perfect location. It’s about understanding light, recognising opportunities and knowing how to make the most of what’s in front of you.

Throughout these workshops, Glynn will share practical ways to get more from your lenses, work confidently in challenging environments and create compelling people photographs without relying on perfect conditions.

Expect useful techniques, fresh perspectives and plenty of those “Ah, now I get it!” moments.

Book One Day - or Make the Most of Both!

The two workshop days offer their own learning opportunities, and each day can be booked separately, subject to availability after initial release of two day tickets.

You can choose the session that best suits your interests or book both days for a more comprehensive learning experience.

Whether you’re passionate about portraiture, photographing people in everyday environments or simply wanting to become a more confident and capable photographer, this is an opportunity to learn from an experienced educator who understands the challenges photographers face in the real world.

Glynn Lavender is back in Brisbane for the first time in six years - and you won’t want to miss this opportunity!

Come along, learn something new, challenge the way you think about photography and leave with practical skills you can start using straight away.

Spaces are limited, so secure your place and get ready for two inspiring days of photography, learning and creativity.
