Episode 12 - Collarts Students

Episode 12 wraps up our season with fresh perspectives from emerging photographers Gemma Raso, Lisa-Mary Abdulnour, and Matilda Baumann Matilda is a student photographer specialising in portraiture, currently using photography as a tool for self-discovery. Through vibrant portraits and storytelling, her work explores identity, empowerment, and the beauty of stories often overlooked. Lisa-Mary, creator behind Broke Stills, makes portfolios that intrigue her. From frying old photos to process grief, to seeking out abandoned chairs and connecting them to memories—who knows what she will create next? Creating and sharing on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri-willam people of the Kulin Nation in Australia, Gemma prioritises connection and collaboration in her practice. Her work explores a range of different themes to do with belonging including spirituality and land, lineage, textiles, and particularly the experiences of d/Disabled peoples within these contexts.  These talented students share their creative journeys, inspirations and hopes for the future of photography. Their unique voices remind us of the beauty in starting out. https://www.instagram.com/technicoloursuper888/ https://www.instagram.com/brokestills/ https://www.instagram.com/gemrasophotography/ https://www.collarts.edu.au/.
