  $89 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

This relaxed, hands-on photography walk is open to everyone, whether you're using a DSLR, mirrorless camera, compact camera or smartphone. You don't need an expensive camera or lots of technical knowledge – just bring something you enjoy taking photos with.
Perfect for locals, photography enthusiasts and visitors looking for a creative way to explore the Fremantle.
Depending on the conditions and pace of the group, our walk may include:
The Round House & West End – historic architecture, limestone buildings, textures, symmetry and beautiful streetscapes
High Street – colourful heritage buildings, street photography, architectural details and strong leading lines
Fremantle Markets & surrounding streets – colour, character, people, details and everyday moments
Walyalup Koort – a mix of modern and heritage architecture with interesting shapes, lines and perspectives
Fishing Boat Harbour – boats, reflections, movement, colour and Fremantle's maritime character
Esplanade & waterfront areas – open spaces, coastal details, changing light and opportunities to experiment with composition
Rather than simply photographing each location, we'll look at how to find the photograph – exploring different angles, perspectives, light and compositions to create something more interesting than the obvious snapshot.
Throughout the walk we'll work on:
Composition and framing
Finding and using natural light
Leading lines, symmetry and reflections
Creating depth in your photographs
Choosing stronger viewpoints and perspectives
Photographing architecture and heritage details
Street photography and capturing everyday moments
Looking for colour, texture and patterns
Making the most of the camera or smartphone you already own
Visiting Fremantle?
If you're visiting Western Australia, this is a relaxed and creative way to explore one of WA's most distinctive historic port cities while improving your photography at the same time.
You don't need to carry a professional camera. Smartphone photographers are absolutely welcome.
Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner or simply looking for something different to do while you're in Fremantle, you'll have the opportunity to photograph some of its well-known landmarks while also discovering smaller streets, details and compositions you might otherwise walk straight past.
The walk is designed to work with your level, your equipment and the way you like to photograph.
What you'll get
Hands-on photography guidance throughout the walk
Help with composition, light and creative camera techniques
Guidance with your camera or smartphone
This isn't just a guided walk around Fremantle. It's a practical photography experience where you'll have the opportunity to learn, experiment and ask questions as we go.
Individual help and feedback while you're shooting
Creative challenges to encourage you to see locations differently
Tips you can continue using long after the walk has finished
The opportunity to create your own collection of photographs from some of Fremantle's most interesting locations
And, most importantly, you'll leave with a better understanding of how to see a photograph rather than simply take one.
Knowledge required
Whether you're completely new to photography, already comfortable with your camera, travelling with just your smartphone or simply want to become more creative with the way you take photographs, you're welcome.
The walk is designed to work with your level, your equipment and the way you like to photograph.

Claire Gilham-Martin is a Perth-based photographer, videographer, and educator whose work captures the quiet, cinematic beauty of Western Australia. Drawn to moody tones, reflective light, and the emotion of stillness, Claire transforms familiar coastal and urban landscapes into stories of atmosphere and place.
Through her photography workshops and mentoring, Claire empowers others to see with intention — guiding students from automatic settings to confident manual control. Her teaching style, often described as patient, clear, and inspiring, helps beginners and enthusiasts alike understand not just how to take a photo, but why it matters.
With a background in both photography and videography, Claire bridges artistry and technical mastery. Whether behind the lens or leading a hands-on class at Perth landmarks like Elizabeth Quay and Fremantle’s Round House, she shares the same passion: helping others discover the magic in light, mood, and moment.
When she’s not editing or teaching, Claire can usually be found exploring the outdoors with her two Welsh Pembroke Corgis, Speckle and Licorice — her loyal (and often muddy) photography assistants. They’ve wandered through more shoots than most people she knows, always reminding her to slow down, look closer, and find joy in the small details.
Claire’s landscape work continues to gain recognition on both national and international stages. Most recently, she reached the Top 101 in the International Landscape Awards 2025, placing Number 41 globally and having her image published in the official awards book. She also achieved Finalist status in the prestigious Landscape Capture Awards, with both of her submitted images. In 2024, Claire was awarded 3rd Place in the Australian & New Zealand Landscape Awards, her image was selected and published, a milestone that marked her continued progression in the competitive landscape photography world.
