Northside Creative Portfolio Show 2023

Len, Shane and Susan start the proceedings.

It has been a busy time for Len recently. Having just returned from the Abstract Workshop in Kiama, it was straight to the opening of Northside Creative’s Portfolio Show.

Len has long been a supporter of Northside Creative and has reviewed their portfolio group submissions for the last few years. This year was no exception. Len spent a very long day reviewing each submission and writing detailed feedback for each portfolio. He was also one of the speakers at the opening of the group show.

The show was just on for one day but was well attended by members of the public and other camera clubs. The diversity and quality of work on display was outstanding. Projects ranged from traditional prints, combining photographs with printmaking, unique handmade books and even an installation.

Northside Creative Photography has been serving photography enthusiasts on the North Shore of Sydney since 1952. They run their portfolio program every two years. The project calls for members to develop a portfolio of their work. While a portfolio is often interpreted to be a variety of photographs displaying the photographer’s skills in different areas, this exercise is intended to be a project with images presenting a cohesive theme.

It was such a pleasure to walk around and view all this work. Congratulations to all those who took part, and to Susan Buchanan, who puts her heart and soul into running this project. It was a fantastic display of very creative and unique works.
