What if you could create compelling, intimate portraits of someone thousands of miles away—using only your phone?
Join photographer Will O’Hare for an engaging talk on remote photography, a technique he began exploring during the pandemic to photograph people across the world using mobile apps like Facetime, CLOS and Shutter. From personal projects, to his work with TalentLift Canada capturing portraits of skilled refugees before they relocate, Will shares how technology can break physical barriers and foster deep human connection.
Discover the tools, techniques, and creative possibilities of remote photography*—and how it can transform the way we tell stories through images. Plus, stick around for a Q&A and a live demonstration of this technology!
Ages 16+ | PWYC/By Donation & registration is required.
*Remote photography is a technique where the photographer and the subject (or client) are not physically in the same location.
