📸 New England Through the Lens

A Photography Tour with Craig Williams & John Armytage

🌄 Where Light Shapes the Story

In May 2025, professional photographers Craig Williams and John Armytage led a transformative landscape photography workshop through the highlands of New England, Northern NSW. This multi-day experience was crafted for photographers seeking to deepen their creative vision, explore iconic locations, and capture the essence of Australia’s rural beauty.

Gostwyck Chapel Uralla

From sunrise chapels to cascading waterfalls and tree-lined streets glowing with autumn colour, every moment was an invitation to see differently.

🧭 Guided by Light

This wasn’t a rigid itinerary—it was a journey shaped by light, weather, and instinct. Each day unfolded with purpose, balancing technical mastery with artistic freedom.
