The Explorer

Overview

Snapping a photo is easy to pick up, but making it a great one is hard to master. If you're just starting out, learning from the best is a pretty sure way to hone your skills. Now, you can get hands-on tips with Eugene Tan of Bondi's famed Aquabumps photography studio at the Explorer sessions. Part of Sunglass Hut's upcoming Face the Sun Sessions, this workshop will not only see you hitting the coast and taking some snaps, but you'll cop some sweet new sunnies, too.

On Thursday, November 28, bring your camera down to Bondi for three hours of photography. Start off with a walking and photography tour with Tan before taking some top-notch beach shots of your own. Plus, once you've snapped your heart out, you'll join Tan for some food at Aquabumps Gallery. So, if you're wanting to become a photo whiz and you just so happen to be in the market for new sunnies, too, this is your chance.

If catching a sunrise over the ocean sounds like your thing, the sunrise session — kicking off from 6.15am till 9am — is your best bet. Otherwise, have a go snapping some pics at twilight in the 6.30–9.30pm session. Either way, your new pair of shades will keep your eyes sharp (both fashionably and functionally). Each session costs $20 and includes a walking tour around Bondi, hands-on photography tips, breakfast or dinner and a new pair of shades.
