Ancient Forests of Tasmania

The night whispers. Lights flicker blood red across the city. Hobart slips into its darkest season, the waterfront becomes a dreamscape—part pagan rite, part urban fever dream. Step into the shadows with Tasmanian Photography Tours as Dark Mofo returns to Tasmania in 2025 and descends on the city with its eerie glow and pagan heartbeat. Join us for a gritty, immersive photo walk along the waterfront—where fire meets fog, and art bleeds into the night. We'll chase neon reflections in puddles, frame ghostly silhouettes in red light, and hunt for the raw, unscripted moments that only reveal themselves under cover of darkness. This is for photographers drawn to the strange, the cinematic, the barely lit. We'll explore long exposures, low light techniques, and visual storytelling in one of the most atmospheric settings Tasmania has to offer. Expect a sensory overload of visual stimuli. Whether you're into street, abstract, or low-light landscape, this workshop will push your creativity into the unknown. Reflections off wet pavement, anonymous faces lit by flickering installations, brutal architecture wrapped in fog and flame—this is photography on the edge. Expect chaos. Embrace the unknown. Shoot like the world's ending.
