Women's Only Photography Tours


The Shutter Sisterhood’s women’s only photography tours are about good food, friendship, travel + photography. Small-group photography holidays for women who love taking photos, eating good food and discovering new places — whether you shoot with a phone, Polaroid, film, DSLR or mirrorless camera. Expect travel photography, meeting local makers, delicious food always, discovering beautiful places, making new friends and plenty of laughs.


There’s no camera wankery in The Hood. You don’t need fancy gear or years of experience — just a love of photography and a sense of adventure. Our photography holidays are about making friends, sharing experiences and doing something just for yourself! Australian destinations now, international adventures to come.


All tours ran by Kris from Kristen Shaw Photography. Kris loves a good laugh, good light and good times almost as much as she loves good tucker!

Coming Soon announcement for The Hood Goes To Tassie photography retreat, March 2027, Hobart and Bruny Island, limited to 8 women.
