About this Event

———————————————————————
We live in a culture that celebrates accumulation.

More cameras. More lenses. More presets. More followers. More workshops. More productivity hacks. More photographs.

But what if the next step isn’t adding something new?

What if the work starts when you stop adding to the pile?

In this talk, architectural photographer Simon Devitt explores the relationship between attention, restraint, and creative practice. Drawing on three decades of making photographs across New Zealand and around the world, he reflects on the habits, assumptions, and distractions that often stand between us and our best work.

Part philosophy, part practical reflection, this presentation examines what happens when we slow down, trust what we already know, and begin paying closer attention to what is right in front of us.

Less about photography, and more about seeing.

A talk about noticing, editing, patience, and the often-overlooked skill of enough.
AUD $25+BF
