Ben’s love of the outdoors began the moment he first crawled onto the grass of his grandfather’s farm on the foothills of kunanyi/Mt Wellington in Fern Tree. Born with a sense of adventure and love of the outdoors, Ben has always enjoyed spending time in Tasmania’s wild places.

In 2012, Ben became serious about his passion for photography and started his own brand under the name, Wilkography. A few years later Ben was contracted by Nikon as an instructor to deliver ‘Nikon School’ in Tasmania. Ben also worked for Tourism Tasmania in the international marketing space and realised that the combination of his experience in tourism and passion for teaching photography provided an opportunity to share more of what Tasmania has to offer.

Tasmanian Photography Tours brings Ben’s vision to life by blending the expertise of local photographers with the island’s world class tourism experiences. Through his unique ‘Photography Tours,’ he aims to offer visitors an opportunity to develop a deeper connection with Tasmania, capturing the essence of what makes the island so special. The goal is for guests to return home with not only beautiful photos but also a greater appreciation for Tasmania’s natural wonders.

Ben and the team want to take you to places we know will astound you. Whether it is on one of our premium tours or on one of our immersive workshops, you will experience the state’s wild beauty in comfort and safety while we share all of our knowledge to help you return home with a memory card filled with memories and great images!
