About the Artist
Bo Wong
Creative Freelancer + Educator

With two decades of working as a professional photographer in the arts and culture sectors, I’ve become uniquely placed to understand the changing needs of creatives and small businesses in an increasingly digital landscape.

I’m passionate about elevating the role of the arts in our broader culture and caring for the wellbeing of our workers. I actively champion creatives through mentorships, workshops, retreats, and photography and communication services, while continuing to exhibit my own work.

I am a natural collaborator and bring expertise, humour and warmth to every retreat, workshop, talk, podcast and shoot.

I live, work and swim in the two best places on earth: Kwoorabup Denmark and Walyalup Fremantle in Western Australia.

Please note that photographs and footage may be taken throughout this event. These will be used by the City for publicity and reporting in our publications, on our website and in social media.
