About Environmental Portrait Workshop with Darren Rigo
Join Darren Rigo for a walk through his photo-centred art practice spanning 15 years. His quirky images attempt to push the boundaries of photography and explore how it can interact with other mediums like painting, ceramic and textiles. Get a behind-the-scenes look at his creative process and ask questions about growing a contemporary art practice.
Following the talk, the group will head outside for a demo and hands-on portrait session using lighting techniques with 5-way reflectors. Registration required. Please bring your camera!
