Portraits of Place: Creative Photography Lab

Step into a playful pop-up portrait studio exploring place, identity and self-expression through photography. This relaxed drop-in experience invites visitors to take part in a creative portrait session using accessible tools, simple prompts and phone photography.

Guided by photographer Emma Cronan, visitors will be invited to respond to a series of gentle provocations exploring mood, memory, connection and surroundings, and the way we see ourselves. Using a casual selfie-style set-up, Emma will photograph participants in fun and thoughtful ways, creating portraits that feel personal, relaxed and expressive.

No photography experience needed. Simply drop in, wait your turn and enjoy a creative moment of reflection, play and self-expression.
