The Photo Studio offers a range of great packages, and don't forget that beautiful family portraits can make great gifts for grandparents and family members that live overseas.

North and the Photo Studio crew truly believe in capturing the moment, and they like to make family photo shoots fun and lively affairs. Everyone, from the youngest tyke to the grandparents invariably end up getting involved, not only in the family photo shoot itself, but also looking through the pictures from the day, picking their favourites and deciding what kind of look they would like applied by our Photoshop experts. So don't delay, book yourself a fun family portrait session at the Photo Studio today!

Glebe's 150th birthday celebrations are finishing up in just a couple of days, so if you haven't yet, make sure you check out the outdoor photography exhibits. The large outdoor portraits, taken by Tom Psomotragos and our own North Sullivan, have been printed out on 1600mm x 1000mm canvas sheets and displayed throughout Glebe for the month. Hurry though, you only have a couple more days to tour the 'Glebe outdoor gallery' before the pictures come down on the 28th of November.

150 Locals for Glebe

The end of October saw the start of an exciting new exhibition - a collaboration between our own North Sullivan and portrait photographer Tom Psomotragos. North and Tom, as respected artists as well as proud Glebe residents, were approached by the Glebe Chamber of Commerce to commemorate the suburb's 150th birthday. They hit on the idea to do this through 150 portraits of locals, displayed throughout Glebe both inside and out.

The range of photographs reflect the vibrancy and diversity of the suburb, with the portrait subjects ranging from artist and musician Reg Mombassa (top) to Sister Xavier from Saint Scholastica's College (above) and local personality Mitch the Bike Man (below). The portraits were printed on large canvasses and displayed at nearly sixty locations throughout Glebe, including public parks and spaces, cafes, and building facades. Over one hundred of the portraits will be displayed outside throughout Glebe, transforming the suburb into an outdoor art gallery for the month.

150 Locals will run from October 24 to November 28, so if you haven't seen it yet, make sure you head to Glebe to check it out. You can download the official map from the Glebe website. This exhibition was created not only to celebrate the suburb's 150th birthday, but also to kick off the Glebe Chamber of Commerce's new initiative - the Grand Tour Gallery. The idea is to take art out of the galleries and onto the streets, providing a forum for Australian photographers to showcase their work and allowing people to view great photography outside of a conventional setting.

North and Tom began shooting for the project last December, and although it has taken almost a year to come to fruition, North is very happy with the results. 150 Locals was launched here at the Photo Studio on October 22. The studio was packed out with an eclectic mix of Glebe locals and photography fans, here to view portraits, including those of artist John Ogburn (below) and pianist Bridie King (above), who performed on the evening.

The evening was a great success, and we look forward to seeing what the Glebe Chamber of Commerce cooks up for the Grand Tour Gallery in the future. In the meantime, 150 Locals will continue exhibiting throughout Glebe until the 28th of November, so if you have a chance you should definitely check it out for yourself.
