Presenter: Ben Wood
We are very fortunate to have a very talented local photographer joining us for our first Education evening of the yearBen Wood was named "Australian Photographer of the Year in the 'Aerial' Category Winner in 2024 and has some amazing images to show us.Ben's journey into the world of photography began less than two years ago, but he has only really started to take it more seriously recently by understanding his style and getting out of his comfort zone. He says.. "I'm self taught with no fancy arts degree, just a guy with a camera (and drone)". He goes on to say, "If I were to describe my photography style, well at least what I think about are moments of "sonder"—the realization that everyone around us is living a life as vivid and complex as our own.
Through my lens, I strive to explore and share these moments, delving into the nuances of street, travel, and drone photography. Each photograph is a testament to my new appreciation for creativity and the unique perspectives it unveils".

Sonia Pusey is a photo composite artist based in Perth, Western Australia. Growing up in Adelaide, South Australia she attended a specialist music high school and on completion was accepted into the College of Performing Arts and graduated, majoring in dance performance. Sonia’s photography journey began relatively late in life. In January 2016 she joined a Photo a Day Facebook group taking photos with her phone. Three months later she bought her first camera and became obsessed with everything photography. Sonia developed her love and skills in digital photo artistry by enrolling in Sebastian Michael’s “Fine Art Grunge” course and then the more advanced “AWAKE” course. Sonia takes pride in only using photographs she has personally taken for her digital images and enjoys searching for special objects and scenery to photograph. She is drawn to images that tell a story or make the viewer feel an emotion. Her style is a combination of whimsical, surreal self-portraiture, influenced by her love of Brothers Grimm fairy tales as a child. Sonia’s images have been published in the international magazines “Living the Photo Artistic Life”, “Artists Down Under” and “Quill and Camera”. She has also been the featured artist in each of the above publications.
