Join artist Sara Shamsavari who works with photography, painting and fashion to explore and express your personality through portraits. Get inspired by Sara’s photographs and the work in the Photography Centre to create portraits that celebrate yourself, and your family.

Come to this workshop in your favourite outfit and experiment with fashion, fabrics, backdrops, and props to express yourself. Then find the perfect setting for your portrait in the museum. Take photos, using tips you'll learn to improve your portraits of people.

You'll come away from this workshop with a selection of your best photographs that you can frame at home!
