Unfiltered is for the photographer &/or filmmaker who is unafraid of trying new things, is keen to outlast the trends in their business, and who is looking for an educational retreat to nurture and inspire them.

This retreat is geared towards both photographers and filmmakers and all of the topics covered will be relevant to you, whether you shoot only photos, video or both.

The 2024 Retreat was $4400AUD

The 2024 retreat ticket included 3 nights accommodation in your own room at the gorgeous Kyah Hotel in the Blue Mountains, all your meals (breakfast, lunch, snacks, AND dinner), our Unfiltered Creative Toolkit filled with lots of fabulous things, access to all learning, plus the space to come together with other like-minded creatives and nurture yourself & your business.

It’s up to you, you can pay all upfront (best value) or you can make payment in 4 instalments, there will be a spot on the application form for you to let us know your preference.

Our retreat caters towards those that are capturing families, but if your gig is mostly weddings or commercial we reckon you’ll still get a lot out of our retreat. So yes, you can still come if you’re not predominately a family photographer!

You betcha! If you’ve never shot video before but you’d like to give it a try, Unfiltered will be the perfect place to give it a go. We'll be on hand on the first day to get you started and answer any questions you might have.

We’ll also send you a handy little guide with some beginner info that you can have a read through before you arrive.

Tickets are non-refundable but they are transferrable in the event that you cannot attend the retreat. If you cannot attend, you can either sell your ticket or the credit can be applied towards online or in person 1:1 mentoring with Kylie.

Yes! All attendee’s will have their own private room with bathroom for the duration of the retreat. We know how intense the retreat atmosphere can sometimes be, so we want everyone to have a space they can retreat to when they need 5 minutes just to breathe.

Transport to and from the hotel is NOT included in your ticket. Having said that, we’re more than happy to help you figure out transport and once you’ve booked your ticket and we get closer to the date we’ll be in touch with more info to help you get there.

Absolutely you can! If you need to book an extra night or two we’ll put you in touch with our contact at the hotel who can get that sorted for you, or we can recommend other hotels closer to the airport if that’s what you’d prefer.

You bet we will! All of your meals from when you check-in on the first day to when you leave on the final day of the retreat are included. Tea/Coffee/Soft Drinks will also be covered during the day, and at dinner time we’ll have a bar tab for soft drinks and house wine/beer. If you’d like to go fancy and get a cocktail or two you’ll need to cover those yourself.

When you reserve your ticket we’ll have a spot on the form to include any dietary requirements you might have and we’ll make sure those are passed onto the hotel and catered for.

If you’re coming from overseas and you’re kinda freaking out about the idea of getting yourself to and from the hotel, wondering what kind of clothes you should pack or worrying about whether or not the wildlife will eat you, relax, we’ve got you!

We’re putting together a handy guide for anyone from overseas thinking about attending where we’ll soothe your concerns and tell you exactly what to expect and how to pack for your visit to Australia. We’ll send that to you once you’ve bought your ticket.

And while we can’t guarantee it, we can say with 99.9% certainty that you won’t be harmed by any wildlife for the duration of the retreat.
