Helping them to cultivate their story, the program included guiding the photographers through concept development and refinement, pre-production, shooting their vision, then working with their mentor to edit each story or series.
Exhibiting photographers are Alice Ballhausen, Amy Kennett, Claire Armstrong, Hyun Lee, Karen Trang, Lilli Waters, Lucy Deverall and Susie George. The mentors they worked alongside include pro photographers Billy Plummer, Craig Wall, David Cohen de Lara, James Marcus Haney, Paul Barbera, Tobias Rowles and Benito Martin.

NBA star Patty Mills shot by Tobias Rowles for GQ
“I was fortunate enough to spend a few days with NBA champion Patty Mills and visit his homeland on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait Islands. It was amazing getting an insight into what it’s like to play ball at the very highest level and experience Torres Strait Island culture first hand. A vibrant culture that Patty reps everywhere he goes. Humble, down to earth, inspiring and always smiling – Patty Mills is a legend !” – Tobias Rowles
