Wild Kakadu Nature Photography Expedition 2025

5 Night Wild Kakadu Nature Photography Expedition

2025
Darwin – Kakadu, Australia’s Northern Territory

Join us on an exclusive photographic expedition through the heart of Crocodile Dundee Country.

NT Bird Specialists and Jay Collier from the Photography Workshop Co are partnering up for a 7th year to bring you this epic Kakadu nature photography workshop in Australia’s Northern Territory.
During five full days of field workshops and tutorials you’ll be immersed in trialling creative photography techniques within Kakadu’s remote World Heritage landscapes. Intimate knowledge and the super-sharp eyes and ears of your local guide Luke Paterson will ensure you’re positioned well to make the most of your time with Jay Collier.
You’ll be absorbed in endless wild photographic opportunities aboard two private cruises, including on the famous Yellow Water Billabong and visit ancient Aboriginal occupation sites adorned with rock art and living cultural histories dating back 65,000 years in the region.
Sunrise, sunset, astro, macro, (optional) doors-off helicopter aerials and of course bird photography techniques will be covered.

We tailor our sessions to suit all photography experience levels from beginners to advanced. This is the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded photographers and ask those tricky questions that can save you hours of research, trial and error, but best of all, take some incredible photos on your own camera set up on this remote Australian adventure. 

Join our epic nature photography expedition in Kakadu’s World Heritage sites to:

• Capture incredible images with guidance from photography educator Jay Collier (18 years experience Australia & Africa)
• Be professionally led by specialist bird and wildlife guide and owner of NT Bird Specialists Luke Paterson (24 year’s experience in northern Australia)

• Warm up with a private 3-hour dawn bird photography cruise along the Mary River.
• Travel to stunning remote natural landscapes, largely unpopulated by people and make the most out of daylight hours for optimised time in the field.
