NBL X NEXT STARS

Photographer Sam Tolhurst shoots the NBL’s biggest rising stars in Studio 01. He needed a space big enough to accommodate 8 very tall individuals in both single and group portrait scenarios. We utilised the in-studio Aputure nova p600 light panels, making full RBG easy and accessible.

Concrete Monstrosity: Exhibition opening

Alchemy studios first exhibition opened with a great turnout from the local photography and architectural community. 

Gascoine & Morris present Concrete Monstrosity, a photographic exhibition exploring the misunderstood beauty of brutalist architecture. 
For a few short decades, concrete combined with the post-war artistic boom ushered in a new era of architecture – one where the limitations of form and finish were undefined. But, over time, the public sentiment shifted, not helped by politicians and developers labelling these imaginative creations as 'Concrete Monstrosities'. Rather than fight it, this exhibition embraces the monstrous label and offers the viewer a lens – a clean slate, if you will – to look at and appreciate these beautiful monsters with fresh eyes. 
Concrete Mistress - a 16mm film will only be show at the exhibition
