A print of mine is part of the massive tenth annual ‘This Time It’s Personal (TTIP)’ exhibition at Sun Studios, Sydney. I’m one of 100 photographers selected by curator Rachel Knepfer, alongside some friends and mentors in Australian photography.
TTIP offers a glimpse into what Australia’s leading professionals shoot for love alone. Opening on Thursday 28 November in the SUNSTUDIOS Sydney Atrium Gallery, the exhibition provides a platform for the industry’s best professional image-makers to exhibit personal work in the name of raising funds for an important cause, and to come together to celebrate another year.
All works are sold on the night and as usual, every dollar raised will be donated to Chris O’Brien Lifehouse in support of cancer research and treatment.
Opens Thursday 28 November!
'Where I Lay My Head' exhibition at Hillvale Gallery, Brunswick. Photo: Benjamin Petit.
Recently international photojournalism organisation #Dysturb returned to Melbourne to paste large-scale photographs in the streets, this time with a parallel exhibition at the brand new Hillvale Gallery in my neighbourhood of Brunswick, in the city’s northern suburbs.
Poetically named Where I Lay My Head, the campaign highlighted the increasing numbers of displaced persons around the world with a particular focus on how families and communities are affected.
As one of two local photographers featured in the gallery exhibition, EveryDayMigration asked me write about the experience, a task that inspired insightful conversations with fellow Australia-based photojournalists who were also part of the campaign — Barat Ali Batoor and David Maurice Smith — along with Madz Rehorek, curator of the exhibition and #Dysturb’s Asia-Pacific Manager.
Some install photos from my exhibition 'Resist Laughter' at Special Group in Sydney (May 5 - 17, 2017). Big thank you to: Heidi Romano for curation and design support. Peter Hapzipavlis at The Print Shop @ Photography Studies College, Melbourne (PSC) for your incredible printing expertise and support. The Pool Collective for your mentoring and support via The Pool Grant 2016. HeadOn Photography Festival for including the show as a feature exhibition. And all of the people who shared their story with me for this project. Looking forward to continuing later this year.
