CLASS SPOTLIGHT CRASH COURSE STUDIO

SPOTLIGHT ON CLASSES

We are very pleased to announce the recipient of the 2024 Carbins Trust Scholarship is Kasia Tons.

Last Wednesday a group of the Diploma-level students and some lecturers visited selected works from the photographic collection at the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA). It’s usually an annual excursion and it is always a great time to see aspects of the collection up close and personal. If you haven’t engaged with AGSA in this way, I’d highly recommend this very special experience.

A gallery of the amazing student work submitted for Term 3 “We heart this image”. We are so proud of our talented students.

Polina Washington on Why You Should Try Soaking 35mm Film in Ramen Soup

Looking for a new photography idea? Try out three recipes for "soups" that create an abstract, distorted effect on 35mm film.

An exhibition at MoMA reconsiders the work of Claude Cahun, Justine Kurland, Carrie Mae Weems, and other artists who have shaped the medium for decades. “In Our Selves, women and gender-nonconforming photographers make their way through seeing, unseeing, and seeing anew,” McKeon writes. “One woman’s life’s work—a collection of the labor of many, given to another in friendship—is a gift of sight.”

A major exhibition in São Paulo celebrates the process behind the Japanese photographer’s trailblazing work. Daigo Oliva writes: “Although it is seductive to view Moriyama’s dark and grainy pictures as a mirror of the American occupation of his country, his true interest lies in dissecting images down to their essence.”

In portraiture, often there is little left for the senses when it comes to composition. American photographer Jake Wangner pushes that boundary to mesh realism and abstract art through his mastery of the long exposure and multiple exposure techniques on film, rendering portraits that not only depict but also stir the senses.

In 2016, Christopher Colville, a photographic artist in Phoenix, AZ expanded his practice of producing light drawings on light sensitive materials using black powder flashes by incorporating the shadow of a ruptured bandsaw blade. This broken circle formed an image reminiscent of the ancient symbol of the Ouroboros
