PAST EVENT

Date: Friday, 14th September 2012
Time: 4pm – 6pm
Location: Central Lecture Block, Lecture Theatre 6 (Upstairs)
After travelling around much of the world while working as a scientist, Dr John Xiong settled down in Sydney with his family in 1995. Although photography had always been his leisure time passion, he was particularly impressed by the beauty of Sydney as well as every bit of Australia, from jewel-like coral cays on the Great Barrier Reef to timeless escarpments of the sun-soaked outback.  He had to contemplate the inevitable, and eventually left his beloved career at CSIRO, and became a full time photographer. He is now highly successful, even having published several books of his works.

Time: 3.30 -5.30pm
Location: Central Lecture Block 6 (CLB6)

“I believe that, more than ever before, photography is about a community and a culture, rather than the camera.” – Olly. Photography is a language, an expression of culture, diversity, and can be a prime platform for togetherness. This year Artsweek is all about Coming Together so UNSW PhotoClub thought what better way to draw a close to Artsweek than to invite a guest photographer that could sum it all up for us.

This week we invite Oliver Lang, a.k.a. Olly, a professional street and documentary photographer who shoots with nothing but an iPhone. Olly has been featured on iPhoneography.com and Eyeem.com and print publications such as the Daily Telegraph and was recently interviewed for the ABC Art Nation television series. Olly’s Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/oggsie/
