AUTHENTIC FILMS
Documentary films and live conversations with leading photographers and filmmakers.
Watch how they work. Be in the room.
In conversation
Not a Masterclass. A Room.
Every few weeks, we host a 40-minute live conversation with a photographer or filmmaker via Zoom. You're on camera. They're on camera. Anyone can ask a question.
No curriculum. No slides. No broadcast format. Just a room full of people who care about the work, talking directly with the person who makes it.
Sessions feature our resident artists — and guest creatives from across the industry. Members attend every session as part of their membership. Anyone else can buy a one-off ticket for $20.
Upcoming Sessions
The Films
Season One: Australia & New Zealand's leading portrait/ fashion photographers.
No scripted lessons, no talking heads, no tips-and-tricks format. Each film is observational and unscripted — a documentary portrait of how an artist works. The camera follows the work as it happens, placing you in the position of being on set.
These are photographers who shoot for Vogue, Rolling Stone, and Chanel — and who've photographed everyone from Johnny Cash to Margot Robbie.

@LenaHo
"This was really so wonderful. On so many levels. I could watch Hugh chatting about his life and watching his shooting process for many hours. Thank you for this absolute treat."
