Paso Robles
Join the Photo Bloke to explore the beauty of the Central Coast
Photography workshops for all skill levels and equipment
For all photo enthusiasts who are searching for that perfect shot of an otter in Morro Bay or a serene sunset over the rolling Paso Robles vineyards, Randall Bryett the Photo Bloke is an exciting opportunity to fulfill your wishes.
“The Photo Bloke is a new offshoot of my photography busi- ness Aussie Wild Photography and I am offering this as an excit- ing adventure option. Although I have tutored wildlife photography
Bay, or another situation that tugs at your photographer's heart- strings. For beginners, Bryett teaches the basics of the equip- ment and how to take the perfect shot; more advanced customers can trade tips and learn about more technical aspects of the camera.
“Vineyard country, parks, or wherever the light is right and the shot presents itself, we will be ready. In those special hours in morning or afternoon light we find subjects worthy of a click or two!” said Bryett, adding that, “My workshops are adventures of discovery. We have so much in our area to shoot; vineyards, agricultural imagery, people, pets and farmyard animals, even cemeteries present heavenly op- portunities.”
Bryett’s main business is Aus- sie Wild Photography and after interest from people wanting to join Bryett on his expeditions, The Photo Bloke was born.
“Photography is a mix of light, timing, technology, and luck stirred into the split seconds when the shutter button is trig-
gered. Our time together on a workshop is boiled down to effort applied, opportunities presented, and extracting the best from those fractions of seconds. Join me in seeking out wildlife and other interest- ing scenes all while learning methods, tips,
and styles that work,” Bryett said.
The Photo Bloke is based in the Central Coast. For more informa- tion, call (415) 308-4544 or visit thephotobloke.com.
