About this experience
Our tours are always private, so you and your group (up to four people in total) will be able to go anywhere in Sydney that tickles your fancy. One route we suggest would be to start in Milsons Point and shoot at the iconic Luna Park amusement park, shooting under the Harbour Bridge before catching a ferry to Circular Quai. Having a bite to eat before heading off to Kings Cross or Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair to explore the city after dark when the lights start to twinkle. Over our three hours together we will go over: - Understanding your camera: technical aspects such as Aperture, ISO and shutter speed - How to frame the perfect image. What to include, and what not to include. - Night photography techniques, what settings and locations work best. - Making sure you are standing in the right place at the right time to get the perfect picture - Reviewing your photography.

What a fantastic day from the start to finish
Response from the operator: Thank you, we are glad you had a wonderful time with us.

What a fantastic and inspiring workshop!
I had the pleasure walking with Glenn around Sydney Harbour. He showed me the best spots and photography techniques. Glenn is a very passionate and experienced photographer. In just four hours he‘s been teaching me a lot of stuff I didn‘t know before while showing me around the best spots to photograph the harbour bridge and the opera house. It was very inspiring, keep up the good work!
Response from the operator: Delighted you enjoyed your walk around Sydney Harbour. Great to hear the mix of locations and techniques inspired you. Thanks for joining us and hope to photograph with you again.

Great Company Great Tour Guide!
Aperture tours is an excellent company to work with. They communicated the time and person who will be my tour guide and his contact information. This allowed me to receive text information on delays or travel information directly from my guide. Aperture reminded me of the tour date as it got closer. My tour guide was Glenn and he was awesome! He was very patient and understanding as we went through photography techniques. We discuss topics I was most interested in like composition and lighting. Glenn knew the locations to go to and we setup for each photo shoot. He's very knowledgeable about photography and highly recommend this company and Glenn when in Sydney, Australia.
Response from the operator: Really glad the experience worked well for you. We appreciate your kind words about the communication, the guidance and the overall flow of the session. Delighted the Sydney tour helped you focus on what mattered most to you. Thanks again for choosing us and we hope to photograph with you again one day.

Very informative photographic session
Great photography lesson with Glenn. He aimed the session very well for both of us despite being at different abilities. Well done. Really enjoyed it.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much! We're glad you both enjoyed the session and that it worked well for your different levels. Always a pleasure to share the joy of photography!

Awesome opportunity to +10 your skills in three hours
The three hours flew by and I was sorry it was over so quickly. Glenn did a fantastic job of covering the fundamentals (eg exposure triangle) and then focusing on each aspect of the triangle to give real world examples of the tradeoffs (eg shooting moving traffic at 1/60s shutter speed to see the blur, then shooting it again at 1/1000s to see it stop the motion). He had me in aperture priority for about 30 minutes, shutter priority for 30 minutes, then manual mode the final two hours. I’ve never shot manual, and Glenn did a great job of not only removing the fear of full manual, but getting me excited about the upsides of manual. Probably the single most valuable thing was to have a pro standing next to me that wanted to review every shot for composition. As a landscape photographer I don’t use a lot of the zoom in my 24-240mm lens. Glenn pointed out several times I wasted pixels and was relying on crop to get a good shot. He pushed me to really get in tight on the subjects and showed the impact of “cropping your shot in camera, not in post.” An awesome class that I would retake multiple times, as getting access to a 30 year professional who is a very good teacher in a 1:1 setting is worth every penny!
Response from the operator: We're thrilled to hear how much you valued the hands-on approach and real-world application of photography techniques. It’s fantastic that the session helped you gain confidence in manual mode and refine your composition skills. We’d love to have you join us again for another session—there’s always more to explore.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sydney Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Sydney Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson cost?
+
Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sydney Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Sydney Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sydney Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sydney Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sydney Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sydney Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
