The experience that awaits you is unlike any other in Australia if not the world!!!
We offer what we firmly beleive is easily the most unique landscape photography experience in Australia if not the world!
Lake Eyre when photographed from the air has endless collidascopic landscape vistas that can change daily from the shifting waters and wind. As the salt and silt settles and flood waters pass or dry up, it creates a vast array of colours and patterns as aglue blooms and bird life explodes.
The Painted Hills offers landscapes rarely seen, or photographed by anyone else in Australia due to its extremely remote location and restricted access that can only be reached by air with strict permission to land.
Our team led the first ever groups into the Painted Hills and continue to enjoy unrestricted access that allows our guests to explore areas where other tourists can not access for up to 5 hours on the ground vs general tour groups who are limited to a set walking path for 45 mins. We can walk anywhere in the hills on our tours.
Combine this with privately chartered aircraft with only 2 photographers per flight and you have the ultimate photography experience with the most experienced specialist photo guide in the industry, Jay Collier who has hundreds of flight hours over Lake Eyre and surrounding areas to ensure you see and photograph the best locations without spending your time flying in circles looking for locations while burning airtime hours.
Accomodation and meals are had at the famous South Australian outback’s iconic William Creek Hotel which has to be Australia’s most unique and remote pub by far (certainly the most quirky too)
After each photographic flight you can kick back and enjoy a cold drink and a meal at the pub and spend time with Jay who will help you edit and get the very best image results from each shoot.

Privately chartered Airvans give you the largest open door view available for aerial photography with only 2 guests per flight at anytime.
