2023 Southern Highlands Photographic Society Exhibition: A VISUAL JOURNEY
The Southern Highlands Photographic Society (SHPS) is excited to present its 2023 exhibition of members’ prints in the Atrium of the Moss Vale Civic Centre during the month of August. Titled A Visual Journey and opening on Tuesday, 1st of August, the exhibition will feature new photographs submitted by many of the club’s 60 members.
The Southern Highlands Photographic Society was formed in 2004 when a handful of enthusiastic phographers realised that there was a gap in the Southern Highlands cultural and social calendar. Greg Searle, one of the early members, recalls: “…It was obvious at the time that there was a strong interest to form a camera club. Early meetings proved to be highly successful as the elected executive of the club made bold decisions which included inviting well known and respected photographers to present to the group and later to judge photographs, submitted by members, for the club’s friendly monthly competitions. Popular early meetings included presentations by Sydney Morning Herald’s photographic editior, John McFarlane, as well as the highly respected photographer, Jon Lewis.
Members meet on the 3rd and 5th Tuesday of the month at 7.30, at the East Bowral Community Centre, 71 Boardman Road, East Bowral. For those who are interested in attending a meeting as a guest or joining the group, enquires can be made at shps.enquiries@gmail.com.
In August 2022 the group decided to move their annual exhibition from the old Town Hall in Bowral to the newly opened Civic Centre Atrium in Moss Vale. With it’s beautiful light and welcoming exhibition space, the club members are excited to hold their 2023 exhibition at the Civic Centre once again.
Opening the exhibiton will be the highly regarded local photographer, Tony Sheffield, whose commissioned work has been published on more than 130 covers of magazines and books as well as other publications in Australia and abroad.
