Dark Light 2027
TPT’s Mofo Foto Walk
Get in early to avoid missing out.
Dark Mofo announce their programme late in the year. We are taking bookings now and will email you as soon as they release the dates.
Dark Light Returns!
Expect chaos. Embrace the unknown. Shoot like the world’s ending.
For the third year in a row, TPT takes you to the streets of Hobart for our popular Mofo Foto Walk. Join us for a fun, immersive photo walk along the waterfront.
We’ll chase neon reflections in puddles, frame ghostly silhouettes in red light, and hunt for the raw, unscripted moments that only reveal themselves under cover of darkness. This is for photographers drawn to the strange, the cinematic, the barely lit. We’ll explore long exposures, low-light techniques, and visual storytelling in one of the most atmospheric settings Tasmania has to offer.
Expect a sensory overload of visual stimuli. Whether you're into street, abstract or low-light nightscapes, this walk will push your creativity into the unknown. Reflections off wet pavement, anonymous faces lit by flickering installations, brutal architecture wrapped in fog and flame, this is Dark Mofo…
About Dark Light
Running from 6pm to 8.30pm, this photo walk plunges you into the atmospheric chaos of Hobart’s waterfront. We’ll meet at a designated point before heading into the night. No strict itinerary, just instinct, inspiration, and the raw energy of the festival guiding us.
As the waterfront pulses with ritual, art, and flame, Tasmanian Photography Tours instructors will be on hand throughout the evening to provide creative guidance, low-light techniques, and one-on-one support. You’ll learn to harness the darkness…
Expect the unexpected. Dress for the cold. Bring your fastest glass.
