Local photographer Imran Abul Kashem will run a free online workshop and photo tour in Werribee South next week.
Mr Kashem, who lives in Hoppers Crossing, will conduct the workshop and tour as part of Wyndham council’s Wyndham Together initiative.
Mr Kashem said the workshop would focus on how to take landscape photos with a smart device, such as a mobile phone.
He said the live online workshop, to be conducted via the video platform Zoom, would include tips on photo composition.
Mr Kashem said that for the follow-up photography tour of Werribee South, he was planning to take participants to Campbell’s Cove, Wyndham Harbour and the beach where Werribee River starts.
The tour will be limited to a maximum of 20 people, due to COVID-19 restrictions, and will follow social distancing practices.
Mr Kashem said Werribee South was an area rich in history and beautiful scenery.
He has published a book of photographs capturing the changing landscapes and farming families in the area.
“For me, Werribee South is a great spot, with sites and landscapes people don’t know about,” Mr Kashem said,
“Every time I go there, I find something new or that something has changed.”
The online photography workshop will be held from 6-7pm on Wednesday, June 24, and the Werribee South tour from 3.30-5.30pm on Friday, June 26.
Participants need their own transport for the tour, and anyone aged below 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Registrations for both events are essential. See
