Friends of the CCP, we are excited to announce we have upgraded our digital suite! This has been months (even years) in the making and we are so proud of it.

It's rare our commercial work or real estate photography gets to be as delightful and fun as Woodmans Blockbuster Video shoot. Photographs at the last Blockbuster Video on earth - now converted to an Airbnb, a reminder of simpler sweeter times. We have no idea if it is the over-saturated yellow and blue decor, some pull of nostalgia or Woodman's artful vintage processing. Whatever it is - it's totally rad.

RETOKA is made up of two creatives Oni Lopez and Zara Castellanos of Barcelona, Spain.

All the way from Munich, Amelie Satzger creates images filled with gloriously saturated colour tones and delightful whimsy. These bright absurd images have gained her a year - long scholarship with Adobe and exhibitions all over the world.

BUDGET CAMERAS UNDER $1000 FOR NEW PHOTOGRAPHERS STUDYING IN 2021

If you have been living under a rock you might have missed the most recent big news in photography - Regina Valkenburgh, set up a beer can pinhole camera in 2012 at University of Hertfordshire’s Bayfordbury Observatory. Then forgot about it.

Alex Prager is an LA-based filmmaker and photographer, creating technicolour fantasy images that transport us to other times that may or may not have happened.

We interrupt your week to bring you this special broadcast of ninja cats. Hisakata Hiroyuki is a Japanese cat photographer and frankly we shouldn't need to explain why these photos are great. It's cats. Being Ninjas.

We have a weekly inspiration of a different kind this week. It comes in the form of a shoutout to a past CCP student Bernie Kaeding and her small block family winery Rojomoma.

Weekly Inspiration: Iconic Simpsons sets re-imagined as scenes from a Wes Anderson movie. We have no idea who the people who made this are, aside from the fact that it comes from HomeAdvisor (according to Monster Children’s website), But call us if you find out because we want to give this weeks "Most Valuable Player" award to them. We don't even HAVE a most valuable player award, but we are pretending to have one just for the sake of these fabulous photos.

We have seen a fair amount of light painting over the years, but band member of Ladytron, Music producer and photographer Ruben Wu takes the genre to the next level. Incorporating drones into his work, he is able to create large scale artificially lit landscapes that look more like he travelled to other planets rather than photographed them here on earth.

He's photographed all the living US presidents in recent history, Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk, Arnold Schwarzenegger and pretty much the who's who of the world. It's hard to read a magazine without seeing the work of Australian-born Ben Baker gracing its pages.

If you were a teenager during the early 2000s Munky Haus' influence was everywhere. Photographing those first images we all remember of Linkin Park as a part of their Meteora album, Blink 182, Eminem, D12 and Snoop Dogg - Munky Haus was a photographer many kids looked up to.

Yoon A Mi is a South Korean born photographer, graduating from Hongik Graduate School and Kyungsung University. Her body of work At Night explores what she sees as the two sides of her self, her public face and her private inner world.

Featuring photographers from all over the world, Atkins Labcast interviews photographers and industry heavyweights on their lives and career.

Mieke Boynton is the first woman and first Australian to win the International Pano Awards, the 2019 Victorian Landscape Photographer of the year and a proud Nikon School lecturer. It's kind of hard to list Mieke's achievements in a small paragraph

Julie Cockburn takes vintage photographs then uses mixed media to transform them into something entirely new. Cockburn studied at Central St Martins School of Art and Design and Chelsea School of Art, London where she was encouraged to dumpster dive for her sculpture materials.

We would like to congratulate the Centre for Creative Photography's past and present students on their achievements in the Australian Institute of Professional Photography's online Silver Linings awards.

In 2020 Photography and Photojournalism Are As Important As Ever

California photographer Troy Paiva has been capturing nightscapes since 1989; his work identifiable by his use of neon lights emphasising eerie night scenes. Troy spends much of his time alone, in the middle of nowhere, photographing abandon buildings and junkyards.
