About photo access
photo access is the ACT and region’s centre for contemporary photography, film, video and media arts. An established non-profit incorporated association based at the Manuka Arts Centre in Canberra, we’re a friendly creative community making, sharing and investigating photographic culture in the interests of artistic expression, cultural participation and positive social change.
At the forefront of contemporary photography, film, video, and media arts, photo access stands as the region’s photographic hub. We champion photographic experimentation and discovery through a variety of channels, including diverse exhibitions, workshops, community events, and engaging discursive and artistic projects.
Established in 1984 as an artist-run initiative, photo access has deep roots in grassroots arts activism, and flourishes as an integral part of our local community. The founding artists envisioned photo access as a space for fostering creativity and learning within an inclusive community setting. Situated on the sacred lands of Ngunnawal people, on Kamberri/Canberra soil, we proudly manage the Manuka Arts Centre.
In the midst of a transformative era in image culture, photo access aims to preserve analogue skills whilst cultivating an understanding of the omnipresent photographic image in the digital age. Through our public programs, we facilitate national and international discussions on visual literacy and contemporary practices.
About our workshops
At photo access, we offer a wide range of workshops designed to inspire and equip photographers and artists of all skill levels. Our programs cover everything from traditional black-and-white analogue photography processes, and digital photography topics to more advanced topics like Photoshop and Lightroom essentials. We also teach alternative and experimental techniques such as lumen prints, chemigrams, pinhole photography, tintype, and more.
We embrace the future of photography and the moving image with workshops in digital and new media art, including AI and video production. Our workshops range from single evening sessions to multi-month courses.
