Watermark Crossing is a brand-new custom-built photography studio on a 1-acre property in Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills. The studio is named after the waterway that splits the property in two, with the studio only accessible via a boardwalk and bridge crossing in the wet season. The property’s 2 seasonal dams fill and empty with the seasons, with the water-level fluctuating in response to rainfall in the area. Macclesfield is a beautiful historic town with a village vibe, and is well known for its 2 pubs, one of which is the oldest pub in the Adelaide Hills.
Opening in early 2025, Watermark Crossing will be a home for small-group photography workshops across both analogue and digital photography. Guest photographers (both local and interstate) will run weekend and weekday workshops, and participants can stay over in many of the local (and next-door) B&Bs available in Macclesfield. The property has 2 small darkrooms for B&W film developing and printing workshops, as well as wet-plate collodion processing, and the studio will be regularly set up for Tintype Photography sessions as well as digital commercial & portrait photography by resident photographer Sam Oster.
