Hutt Lagoon Drone Photography Workshop Itinerary (All Inclusive, Meet at Kalbarri)

Overview

Join me for an immersive three-day drone photography workshop at Hutt Lagoon, one of Western Australia’s most striking landscapes. Famous for its vivid pink hues, this saltwater lagoon offers endless creative opportunities for aerial photography. Over the course of the workshop, we’ll explore different aspects of drone-based image-making, from scouting and composition to post-processing and creative storytelling. Additionally, we’ll take some time to dive into my Creative Workflow Seminar, where I’ll walk you through my personal approach to conceptualizing, capturing, and refining powerful aerial imagery.

This workshop is designed to be accessible for all skill levels, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned drone pilot. It is also structured to fit into busy schedules, running over a weekend in March 2026, making it an ideal opportunity to refine your skills without requiring extended time away from work or other commitments.

About Hutt Lagoon

Hutt Lagoon, located near the coastal town of Port Gregory, is a naturally occurring pink salt lake known for its high salinity and the presence of Dunaliella salina, a type of algae responsible for its distinctive color. The lagoon’s hues shift from bubblegum pink to deep red depending on the season, water levels, and time of day, creating a dynamic and ever-changing canvas for aerial photography. Historically, the region has been used for salt and beta-carotene production, and its surreal landscape has made it a popular destination for photographers worldwide.

Accommodation

We’ll be staying at Kalbarri Edge Resort, a comfortable and well-equipped base that provides easy access to both Hutt Lagoon and the stunning coastal landscapes of Kalbarri National Park. The resort offers modern amenities, great dining options, and a relaxed atmosphere—perfect for reviewing images and refining editing techniques in the evenings.
