About the artist:

David Barber is a professional photographer with 9 years of experience, primarily operating in Canberra.

The business side of his work focuses on shooting events, sport, lifestyle, and a mix of everything in between. Craft + Design Canberra were one of his first ever clients and he remains grateful to still be shooting for them today.

His personal work looks for the beauty in the everyday, mundane, and often overlooked things. He loves shooting at night in the fog to isolate the subject from the busy background or finding cool suburban scenes on walks through the streets and laneways.

Photography has allowed David to live a creative, unstructured life, where it's considered "work" for him to meet great people, explore beautiful places and continue learning every day.

Accessibility at the venue:

This workshop is hosted online by Craft + Design Canberra. A Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants prior to the event.
