Experience the best of Lake Argyle in the East Kimberley on this epic 4 night photography adventure!
Want to capture Western Australia's most vast and dramatic landscapes?
Throughout this photography tour we will have the opportunity to witness and capture some of the Kimberley Region's most spectacular offerings, which may include;
- VAST MOUNTAIN RANGES
- RUSHING SEASONAL WATERFALLS AND RIVERS
- AUSTRALIA'S SECOND LARGEST PERMANENT FRESHWATER LAKE (AND ITS ISLANDS)
- MAGNIFICENT DARK SKIES
- DIVERSE WILDLIFE
- DRAMATIC GORGES
Lake Argyle is Australia's second largest man-made lake by volume, and its surface area is so large that it is classed as an inland sea. This truly wild place is home to a large population of over 30,000 freshwater crocodiles, short-eared rock wallabies, and over 240 species of birds.
Our focus over the 5 days will be capturing the truly incredible landscapes - travelling via road, foot, and boat - to see the very best of Lake Argyle. This workshop will take place towards the end of the wet season, giving us the best chance of seeing some of the many wonderful waterfalls in the area, or maybe even the lake's spillway river flowing!

Why a Nature By Nathan Photography Tour?
I have been passionately photographing Australia for the past decade, for many of those years I have also been running workshops and tours, ranging from 1.5hours to 15 days! Nothing brings me greater joy than sharing that passion with other keen photographers.
The goal of my tours is to offer value for money in both the experiences and education - maximum profit is not the priority, which allows me to keep the group sizes small! There are no photography secrets on my workshops or tours, I will share everything I know when it comes to helping you become a better photographer.

There are no photography secrets on my workshops or tours, I will share everything I know when it comes to helping you become a better photographer.
I will never treat a photography tour as my own personal scouting trip. I only plan tours at locations where I am knowledgeable and experienced. This tour isn't "the Nathan show" - it's about you, and the beautiful destination that we are visiting. Whilst I may have my own camera in hand throughout some of this tour, it is usually for demonstrative purposes, and the guest's photography always comes first!
Testimonials
Hi Nathan
I wanted to send my sincere thanks for your personalised tuition and flexibility to ensure we all had a fantastic learning experience during your recent Cervantes-Jurien Bay Landscape and Astrophotography Workshop. Your workshop provided me with plenty of new information which I could put into practice there and then, and review with you in a timely manner.
With only six participants doing the workshop, we all received plenty of individual tuition which I found very helpful, especially in reinforcing your suggested techniques to take a quality and striking image.
The locations for each session provided unique photographic opportunities, I gained much new knowledge, which I can now put into practice.
I thoroughly enjoyed your workshop. We had a wonderful group of like-minded participants who were happy to share their personalised knowledge when it came to camera equipment and were great to chat to.
Thank you and I look forward to reviewing and editing my photographs and applying my new knowledge when out and about photographing.
With kindest regards,

I have attended two of Nathan’s photography workshops and have found these to be incredibly thorough and excellent value for money. Nathan is extremely knowledgeable in his craft and would highly recommend his workshops. I am also a Patreon of Nature by Nathan and find his content very useful - again providing excellent value for money.

Went on Nathan's 4-day photography workshop adventure in Karijini in April 2022 and it was one of the most amazing experiences! Nathan was not only an incredible teacher when it came to capturing breath-taking photos, but also an awesome guide through the Park over the 4 days; extremely generous with his time and knowledge. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend every workshop to everyone!

Tour Itinerary
All Nature By Nathan photography tours run with a flexible itinerary. I've been doing it this way for years so that guests get the best photographic opportunities possible, dependent on the weather conditions.
Imagine booking into a tour with a rigid itinerary, and heading out to do astrophotography on a cloudy night, when the sky was clear the day before, just because you need to stick to the schedule! That doesn't seem right to me - so instead we adapt to the weather conditions and pick the best location from the list of potential shooting areas. Where bookings are made with third party tour operators we will need to stick to booking times unless the provider is also flexible.
On this tour we will have:
- 4 Sunrise Sessions
- A Minimum of 3 Sunset Sessions
- An Astrophotography and/or Waterfall Shoot (if weather allows)
- Opportunistic Wildlife Photography (freshwater crocodiles, birds, dingoes)
- 2 Post Processing Sessions

Access Remote Islands With A Sunset Charter By Lake Argyle Cruises.
This tour includes an afternoon of exploring on the water in search of unique photography locations on the lake. We'll find a great spot to photograph the sunset from, which would otherwise be inaccessible! You will also have the opportunity to swim in the lake if you please!
Enjoy Wide Angle Astrophotography In World-Class Bortle 1 Dark Skies.
If the weather is kind to us we will have an opportunity to photograph the rising Milky Way Core over Lake Argyle.
Experience Exceptional Aerial Photography Opportunities.
Lake Argyle and the surrounding mountain ranges look even better from the air! Bring a drone along to expand your photographic opportunities.
Stand Beneath Spectacular Seasonal Waterfalls
Lake Argyle is home to many seasonal waterfalls. There is no guarantee whether they will be flowing, as most of them depend on frequent rainfall - but as we will be visiting near the end of the wet season, we have the best chance of seeing some flow!
