See King Island through the lens of your camera.

Discover King Island from behind the lens on a three-day photographic journey through one of Australia’s most diverse and dramatic island landscapes.

Your local guide will meet you on arrival at King Island Airport. From there, travel aboard our purpose-built all-terrain 4WD, giving you access to remote locations and private properties rarely seen by the everyday visitor.

Over three days, we’ll put you in the right place, at the right time, to capture King Island at its best.

With 164 kilometres of coastline, pristine sweeping beaches, rugged rocky outcrops, ancient dunes, mirrored lakes, lagoons and waterways, open farmland and dramatic skies, King Island provides an ever-changing canvas for photography.

Capture the soft southern light of sunrise in the east and the last colours of sunset in the west. Explore night photography beneath King Island’s skies, and photograph the wildlife, flora, farm animals, landscapes and heritage that together tell the story of the island.

Our experience conducting wildlife tours gives us valuable local knowledge: knowing where to go, what to look for and when nature is most likely to provide that special photographic moment.

From landscape to the table

The experience also follows the King Island food trail, adding another dimension to your photographic portfolio.

Meet your chef, discover the island’s renowned produce and capture the colours, textures and craftsmanship of food preparation and plating, before taking your own place at the grazing table.

King Island is a photographer’s playground where coast, country, wildlife, food and changing light come together.

More than a snapshot

Join us for a 3 day magical photography experience on King Island with local photographer Ian Johnson.

King Island, with its dramatic landscape and unique flora and fauna, allows the photographer to capture its rugged beauty through a lens. Photographer Ian Johnson will introduce you to the great southern light, which will enhance your images. Whether it be pristine sweeping beaches, rocky outcrops, convict-built lighthouses, mirrored waterways or the wings of our birdlife, Ian will guide you through the microcosm of King Island with your lens, photographing images of icons not found in the rest of the world.

Get on board. Bring your camera. Photograph the sunrise in the east, the sunset in the west, and discover everything in between.
