In the age of iPhones and Instagram, everyone is a photographer. But, let’s be honest not everyone is a good photographer. Photos, when taken well can be amazing. They capture moments like nothing else; they create windows into a story, an exchange, a place. We love a good photo, which is why we’ve rounded up some of our favourite photography classes happening right now around Melbourne.
1. You’re Melbourne
If taking photos just isn’t for you, but you want a portfolio of amazing shots, then you should give You’re Melbourne a call. Whether you want family portraits, people images, or couple shots, these guys have you covered. You’re Melbourne is a collaboration between Melbourne loving Sandy Rogulic (photographer) and Penny Hyams (stylist) who take groups, couple, families, or individuals around our fine city of Melbourne using the city as the backdrop.
