Len Metcalf is Australia’s most innovative and inspiring
photographic educator. In 2000 he founded Len’s School
when visitors to his gallery in Katoomba asked him to
teach photography. What makes Len unique, is his years
of educational experience. He has been teaching adults
professionally since leaving school. With a degree in art
education, one in fine art photography, a masters degree
in adult education and thirty years’ experience as an out-
door guide, Len is well placed to be leading your journey
of photographic growth.
Len’s students return year after year to enjoy his gentle
and supportive teaching style, that simplifies photography
and cuts through all of the misinformation that is circulat-
ed on the internet in these modern times of digital photog-
raphy. You will find yourself in the company of many tal-
ented photographers, with gentle souls who bounce visual
ideas off Len and return home with new found inspiration.
The destination workshops that Len runs are a gentle
mix of photographic shoots in inspiring locations, and
in-depth classroom training sessions. It is here that Len
weaves his magic and teaches the language of photo-
graphic composition, how to see, and most importantly
how to create and craft beautiful photographs.
Len’s photographic work is inspirational. Many peo-
ple sign up for his regular photographic inspiration at
http://lenmetcalf.com that arrives as an email daily.
While Len is currently known for his serene sepia land-
scapes, he has had many years’ experience in colour.
For 20 years he carried a large format camera and pho-
tographed wilderness areas in colour transparency, try-
ing desperately to follow in the footsteps of Peter Dom-
brovskis. It took years for Len to relinquish his passion
for colour to concentrate on monochrome. For Len, it
is black and white that allows the most creative artistic
abstractions and interpretations of the natural world.
Len’s fine art photographs are gaining a worldwideTRAVEL SPECIAL: THE PHOTO TOURSreputation. They hang in galleries in Europe, where
his limited editions have gained an enviable reputa-
tion. He hangs next to Art Wolfe, Hans Strand and Jack
