Last night PSC had the great pleasure of welcoming Louis Porter to talk about his work.
Louis entertained a packed audience with his candid and intelligent descriptions of his projects and working processes. Louis works across both documentary photography and the use of found images and objects - creating what he calls his ‘Small Conflict Archive’. He also spoke about his commercial work, his photobook publishing experience and the importance of collaboration as a contemporary photographer. Louis is currently based in the UK, and is only in town for a few days, so we are very grateful to him for making the time to come chat to the PSC community.
Louis’ work has been widely exhibited throughout the UK, England, Canada, Austria, China and Australia including exhibitions at the Monash Gallery of Art, Stills Gallery, the Centre for Contemporary Photography, and the NGV in Melbourne. His work has also been shown at several international festivals including: The Brighton Photography Biennial, The Noorderlicht Festival (NL) , Copenhagen Photography Festival and SiFest (IT). In 2012 he established his own publishing imprint 'Twenty Shelves', its first publication 'The Anatomy of Business', won the inaugural Most Beautiful Books Prize – Australia/New Zealand 2013, and his next publication 'Conflict Resolution' was shortlisted at the Kassel Fotobook Festival, 2013. He is a part of the Artists Book Collective (ABC).
Thanks for dropping by Louis!!!
