PROMO

This exhibition goes behind-the-scenes and into the spotlight with professional photographers and the stars of Australian television, music and comedy. Whether negotiating the logistics of a big publicity shoot or quietly capturing moments on set during filming, the photographers' stories are intriguing and compelling.

How do you work with celebrity subjects, negotiate the complex logistics of big shoots, and create captivating portraits under pressure?
