A Creative Retreat for Women in Photography in the Adelaide Hills

Join Women in Photography for an inspiring Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) retreat in the breathtaking Adelaide Hills. This five-day, all-inclusive experience is designed for creative women ready to slow down, reconnect with their artistic voice, and learn how to craft expressive, painterly images, from capture to print.

Led by renowned photographers Karen Waller and Lesley Whyte, this retreat offers a hands-on journey into the art of ICM, guiding you through in-camera techniques and finishing with beautifully printed A3+ artworks to take home.

A Retreat Designed by and for Women in Photography

Our ICM retreats are more than workshops, they’re creative sanctuaries. Every detail is taken care of so you can focus entirely on your photography. From private accommodations and delicious meals to transportation and expert instruction, we ensure you have the space and support to fully immerse yourself.

Through our capture-to-print approach, you’ll learn how to shoot with intention and follow your images through the creative process, ending with tangible prints you can hang, gift, or cherish.

Whether you’re picking up a camera for the first time or refining an established practice, this retreat welcomes all levels of experience. You’ll be part of a small, supportive group of women who share your love for creativity, nature, and personal growth.

A Space for Creativity, Connection, and Confidence

This retreat is about more than just photography; it’s about shared experiences, creative breakthroughs, and the kind of connections that last long after the final image is printed. Many of our guests return year after year, drawn by the warmth, support, and inspiration found in a circle of like-minded women in photography.

We believe the most meaningful art comes from a place of connection — to the landscape, to the moment, and to each other. And that’s exactly what you’ll find here.
