    Refocus Retreat Pop Up - Christina de Water & Fernanda Pedroso

    In August this year we had the most wonderful time at Refocus Retreat, a photography retreat and all round safe and inspiring place for female identifying photographers to connect and create together. We talk a little about what led us to make When Harri met Sally and then move into a live recording of the podcast with the incredible woman that are Christina de Water and Fernanda Pedroso. Christina studied photography and visual arts in Melbourne, graduated in photography with First Class Honours and went on to work in excellent fashion studios. She worked at Villawood Studios in London, then came back to co-found Australia's first Photographic agency and travelled the world to promote Australian photography with much delight. Christina loves the visual indulgence that photography can present to the eye through the lens. She has her own organic freehand style, which produces life filled photos with a visual surprise. Fernanda, a Canberra based Photographer is originally from Brazil. She moved to Australia in 2020 where at the age of 40 she transitioned from a 20-year career in advertising to photography. Fernanda’s work is deeply inspired by her personal experiences, music, poems and the diverse cultures she has encountered. This unique blend of inspiration also informs her commercial and portrait photography, ensuring each project is infused with creativity and professional precision. Tune in to hear more about these fabulous women and the incredible work they are doing within the photography industry. https://www.refocusretreat.com.au/ https://www.christinadewater.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/christina.dewater.photography/ https://www.fernandapedroso.com/ https://www.instagram.com/fernandapedroso_art/

    BiFB Pop Up - Penny Stephens

    In the third episode from our live sessions at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale we talk to Penny Stephens and her views on documentary photography. Penny is pure joy to chat with, full of warmth, wonderful stories and an inspiring outlook on her work and the future of photography. Penny will be part of an incredible panel discussion - Women Shaping Photojournalism with Carla Gottgens and Christina Simons, at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale and presented in partnership with Nikon Australia, this coming Sunday 14th September from 2-3pm at 101 Lydiard Street North.  Based in Melbourne, Penny is a freelance photographer with an impressive career spanning over 20 years at The Age. These days she juggles a mix of media, corporate and personal projects. She works with clients like Western Health, World Vision, Australia Post, and Monash University, while still shooting news for The Guardian and The Age. Her journey started in the most unexpected way, covering lawn bowls when the picture desk was short staffed! Love that. Since then, Penny’s passion for media work has only grown. She loves meeting people in their homes, capturing portraits, and telling stories at some of the most important moments in their lives. We just adore Penny and couldn’t be happier to have had this conversation. Get ready for an inspiring and heartwarming chat. https://www.bypennystephens.com https://www.pennystephens.com/ https://www.instagram.com/bypennystephens
