"In June and July 2010 I was asked by the UN in Mozambique to document the work of a radio station in remote areas of the country which was using local DJs to educate its audience regarding HIV. Whenever I could during this time, I escaped the expat scene to discover the country and its people for myself.
The UN project finished, I arrived back in the Capital Maputo and gave myself six weeks to capture my own personal journey in Mozambique. However I knew finding, and gaining access to the photographs I was after, would be tricky, as I didn’t know anyone and did not speak the local language, Portuguese.
I tracked down the only photography studio in the country and met Mario, a local photographer. He not only assisted me on shoots, but also got me into places most travellers never have access to; enabled me to meet and photograph people and living conditions outsiders never see. By the time I left the country, Mario and I had become good friends.
Mozambique is a natural wonder, but it’s the people whom I was lucky enough to meet who are the subjects of this exhibition. They’re tough, cool and tenacious, and have an amazing capacity for getting the most out of life, even under the most difficult conditions.
These images cover a diverse range people in Mozambique—artists and musicians creating works as vibrant as the country itself; city slum dwellers eking out a living on a putrid garbage dump; farmers and families struggling to survive in the unforgiving countryside, and women practicing traditional water rituals, washing away spirits and praying for husbands."

Kerry Pryor - Beyond The Orphanage
Opening SATURDAY 18th May, 5 – 7 pm
88 Abercrombie street Chippendale NSW
Friday 17th May until Saturday 25th May.
This exhibition presents photographic work from Kerry Pryor’s time in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where she documented the children sponsored by Beyond the Orphanage and their supporters.
BTO supports children to live with extended family members and guardians who would not otherwise have the financial possibility of being able to support and care for these vulnerable kids.
Kerry’s responsibilities included photographing each child at their school and at home with their families and guardians. Lots of cups of coffee were drunk as the issues between children and guardians were discussed.
This exhibition gives an insight into the lives of these sponsored children at home and at school, their extended families and their homes. The importance of continued sponsorship is highlighted in this exhibition and all profits from sales will be donated to Beyond the Orphanage to help with their invaluable ongoing backing.

Nicholas has worked with Sally on a number of photographer’s portfolios to digitally prep and retouch their images to bring out the best in their portfolio.
While studying photography at PSC, Nicholas worked at a professional photo lab running the scanners. Some might say this is a pretty mundane job however he appreciated that it gave him a unique education about digital photography. In short, Nicholas learnt about the digital image from the print, not the camera. His role was to scan the film and adjust the images with the right colour, contrast and tone for each photographer to their specific requirements, and most importantly to get it done quickly.
Today Nicholas uses this knowledge with many other accumulated skills he has learnt along the way to prepare and enhance photographer’s portfolios and help them tell their story. Whether highlighting the colour tones in a landscape, or manipulating the play of light and shadow to help shape the character in the portrait, he brings a full bag of tricks to each portfolio to bring out the best in each image.

Capture Tree
Photographers - What do you wish assistants knew?
Do you wish emerging photographers would value their work at realistic prices without undercutting?
Do you wish young photographers understood copyright?
Assistants - Do you want to learn what it takes to be a sought after assistant?
Do you want to avoid classic mistakes new assistants/photographers make?
Do you want to learn how to not only look professional but BE professional and enter the industry the right way?
Capture Tree is here to help.
There’s a lot of information out there and not all of it is right for you or the Australian industry. We want to connect you with the information that is out there that will help grow you into the assistant/photographer that you wish to be and that will help grow a more connected industry.
We have, and will continue to post articles by photographers telling you what they wish they knew when they started out and what they wish you knew. We don’t claim to have it all or to be the final word, but we want to start conversation and get photographers in Australia talking and working together.
We want Capture Tree to grow and evolve to be a resource BY photographers FOR photographers - the creative industry is forever changing and as photographers we have an opportunity to get involved and influence its direction. So we invite pro photographers, emerging photographers and photography students interested in becoming a part of Capture Tree to contribute and/or give feedback on the frustrations, highlights, knowledge seeking, technological advances, guidance and opinions of this amazing industry we are so fortunate to be working in.

Eleven 40 - Liam Lynch
ANIMUS - Opening Wed 8th May 7pm
Exhibition Dates 9th - 30th May
The Latin word for Intellect is Animus, Animus is defined as: character, intellect, memory, consciousness, often mind.
Liam's stunning images from the natural world will leave you questioning our own state of being, intellect and sensory perception. An intrepid sleuth, Liam endures whatever extremes he must to capture the story he is bound to tell us in his photographs. Compelled by creative and environmental concerns you’ll often find him bathed in sweat and mosquitoes in the jungles of Borneo or in the depths of our most unexplored oceans.
The compelling imagery that Liam captures and the complex techniques he uses to create his unique Palladium prints, transport us into a seemingly unique state of consciousness within the natural world. The age old and masterful Palladium printing process used by Liam reveals prints of an extraordinary richness and depth which are immediately tantalizing to behold.
