What is the Brisbane photography festival?

The Brisbane Photography Festival is a new festival coming to Brisbane that celebrates the art of photography. This new festival aims to bring together photographers, creatives, and the general community. Taking place from the 9th of June to the 18th of June 2023 with the assistance of the Brisbane City Council, we aim to provide an immersive experience for all those interested in the art of photography. We will be hosting a range of events during the festival, featuring industry experts, educational workshops, and community-focused activities. Whether you are someone from the community, a professional photographer or a beginner looking to learn more, our festival will offer something for everyone.

We want to share our love for all things photography and get the community involved as much as possible as our goal is to bring together people in the industry and the community. We are seeking expressions of interest in the festival from potential individuals, organisations, partners and sponsors.
