Join us on this small group tour ( maximum of ten people or a private tour can be arranged on request) as we head towards areas within easy travel distance from Perth that have provided us with the best opportunities to find a wide variety of orchids and wild flowers that Western Australia is so famous for.

We will be heading from Perth to various country locations depending on the best locations for the flowers each week. These locations will include Perth Hills, Chittering Valley, Toodyay, Moora and York areas.

We will include transport, bottled water, a picnic lunch and input from a professional photographer. 

All of our destinations have not disappointed us in the past but of course we can not guarantee exactly what we will find although we have had many years experience in finding the best locations. Wildflowers, especially orchids, are sometimes there one day and gone the next but you will see a variety of flowers none the less. 

All levels of photography are catered for from beginner to professional, point and press cameras to the latest DLSR model. We have knowledge of different makes and models of camera including full framed, cropped sensor and micro four thirds. We can provide tripods if required. 

We provide for yourself or your party:

Transport to and from our pickup points from Midland Station, Armadale or Currumbine Stations depending on the direction of travel. We will notify you of our pickup points on booking (hotel pickup can be arranged at a small fee) 

Water, Morning tea, Picnic lunch and afternoon tea

Photographic input from a professional photographer

Park entry fees if applicable 

We will be exploring and photographing the laneways, street art, architecture, parks and the streets of Perth. We will go over the basics of photography, putting them in to practise as we walk. We will cover aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance and metering as well as how to compose stronger images taking your photographs to another level. 

There is a fair distance to walk (approximately 4km) but there is plenty to photograph along the way. At the mid point we will stop for morning tea (a drink and cake is included) and have a chance for feedback and discussion on what we have done so far. Our aim we will be to finish at St George's Cathedral or  Elizabeth Quay but it will depend the how much time we spend taking pictures along the way. 

Non photographers (someone attending with no camera) are welcome to accompany the photographer and enjoy a slower paced tour. The morning tea is included. 

Book a 2 hour session within the Perth Metro area at a location (a 30km radius from the Perth CBD or further afield at an extra cost) of your choice with  professional photographer Anna- Mair Francis.
