Concept to Portfolio is an engaging, 8-month course designed to guide you in creating a cohesive photography portfolio, from an initial concept to a refined collection of images. This supportive, mentored program is perfect for image-makers who would like to work in a structured way towards a developed body of work, with guidance from an experienced artist, the camaraderie of workshop peers, and ongoing support by photo access.
This year, the course will be mentored by Hilary Wardhaugh, a renowned Australian photographer whose work explores the complex relationship between humanity and the environment, often viewed through a feminist lens. Known for her introspective and activist-driven projects, Hilary’s work frequently challenges social and environmental issues, using photography to inspire change. She has been deeply engaged with photo access for many years and has recently had a stellar year in 2025, being a finalist in prestigious awards including the National Photographic Portrait Prize, Olive Cotton Prize, and Canberra Contemporary Photographic Prize, among others.
