Canberra and I --Portrait in Canberra (free)

Event Summary

The photographer came to Canberra in 2003, and ever since, people often ask she: “Why here?”

She has been asking herself the same question—what is the magic of this city for her?

She believes everyone carries their own answer in their heart.

That’s why she decided to spend her weekends and free time doing something meaningful:

to photograph 100 people and discover the beauty of Canberra through their eyes.

We’d like to invite you to join us in completing this project.

📷 How to take part?

Be the person in front of her camera, and share a piece of happiness connected to Canberra—maybe something you love or something memorable:

• A café you always go back to
• A walking route your parents enjoy
• A hidden corner only your friends know about
• Or simply a feeling, like “I feel safe here.”

If you think your grandparents, neighbors, or friends have wonderful stories, you can invite them too—I’d be glad to capture their happiness as well.

Every session includes:

• 10+ lifestyle portraits in a location in Canberra that is meaningful to you
• 35–65 minutes of shooting
• A pre-shoot consultation to discuss your idea and location

📷 Participation & Support

The photo session is free, as long as you’re happy for the photographer to include your photo in the exhibition.

If you’d like to support the project, you can choose:

• $86 sponsorship – She’ll print your favorite photo as a 12-inch unframed photograph and gift it to you. (No pressure)

This isn’t just about photography—it’s an invitation to create something together.

Thank you for taking part. With your story, the exhibition will be complete.

As for the exhibition itself: We are still working it out.

If the budget is small, it may be an online showcase; if larger, We’ll find a physical space in Canberra.

Either way, once your photo is used, we’ll send you the website link.

And if there is a physical exhibition, you’ll receive a free ticket as our thanks.
