Hi there,

The last burst of Autumn is here but that is no reflection on any last bursts of creative talent, we burst all year round, with fabulous creatives sharing their work with us.

Our conversation this month is inspiring, along with the images we see, the sound we hear and the words we read. 

Enjoy,

Sally and Eliza

"Visit the Centre for Contemporary Photography for Pixy Liao’s first solo exhibition in Australia. This exhibition is a major presentation of her ‘Experimental Relationship’ series, featuring over 30 of her works, open until July 9th. 

Pixy Liao is among the most exciting contemporary artists practicing photography today. Born in China, she now resides in New York. Her work is extensively exhibited internationally including recent exhibitions at Fotografiska. Her long-standing project ‘Experimental Relationship’ (2007-) explores gender, relationship and cultural dynamics through a series of staged photographs, often featuring herself and her Japanese partner Moro. The works range from tender and intimate moments to submissive and humorous arrangements."

How to Develop your Career as a Photographer

Here's my Book for new photographers that can be downloaded or purchased as a hard copy. Based on my experience as a photographer and educator, it's what I've learned from many years helping photographers advance their careers.

You can now have the practical personal and business advice you need when starting out, as well as the motivation we all depend on. It's realistic, inspiring and yes, a bit bossy when you need a push.

Let's face it, you're actually purchasing me.
