Photography Masterclasses That Will Transform Your Photography

DESERT ISLAND LENSES • Every photographer has that one lens they just can’t live without — the one that feels right the moment it clicks into place. It’s the lens that helps shape their style and brings their creative vision to life. But what if you could only keep one? We asked some of Australia’s top photographers to imagine being stranded on a “desert island” with a camera in hand and tell us which lens they’d choose above all others.

PUTTING ON A SHOW • Photographer Darran Leal and his son Frazer have launched a new exhibition at St Helens’ Panorama Hotel, Tasmania. Tasked with setting up a large-scale exhibition, we sat down for a chat to discover how he tackled the challenges of putting on a dedicated show with a tight timeframe and a small budget.

LIGHT AND LEGACY • For nearly seventy years, photographer Mervyn Bishop has shaped our views of Aboriginal Australia. With a new book and exhibition on the horizon, he reflects on an extraordinary life behind the lens.

EXPANDING VISIONS • Photography can be a journey of trial, error, and discovery, and, as this photographer has found, it can also evolve into a deeply personal exploration of artistic vision.
