Photography credit: Images by Marion Abada www.marionabada.com.au Marion is a current PSC second year student. These images are part of her Photo Impressionism series which applies the concepts of the 19th Century painting style of Impressionism through the medium of digital photography. In these images Marion was interested in exploring the nature of time and how changes to the time of year, time of day or even random fleeting moments create differences in how we emotionally engage with and respond to the world around us.

It was a great start to the new year at PSC!
The first years were welcomed by Director Communications & Students, Jenny Heron and were inspired by introductions and images from their first year teachers.
It was a wonderful atmosphere down in the PSC studio’s and all the new students were able to meet their fellow class mates and have an opportunity to share a bit about themselves.
Once again the first years were joined by second and third year students and teachers at the Orienation BBQ, and everyone enjoyed a delicuous feast!
After lunch the first year students had the opportunity to meet some PSC graduates who shared their experiences of the course and their time at PSC!
See more photos from Orientation Day on the PSC Facebook page.

What a great start to the new year! Some of the new part time classes for this year are now underway and rapidly progressing in their photography creative development and technique. Already there’s been lots of fun new skills learnt, plenty of laughter, many new friendships formed … and it’s still early days!
The new first year classes are learning fresh ways of seeing and how to ‘capture the moment’, aspects of design, how to be creative with different genres and subjects and having lots of fun while getting to know their cameras. Second year students are exploring ideas while melding and blending lighting in the studio to create some fabulous results. Whilst third year students are getting some hands on experience with industry interface sessions.
We are eagerly anticipating more new classes starting later in February and early March. Talk about a photographer’s seventh heaven!

STUDENT: Ash Vesali (final year) www.brideonline.com.au/vic/vesali
ASSIGNMENT: Commissioned for Wedding of Dyani & Rory
PUBLISHED: Vogue Italy online
STUDENT COMMENT: The Joy of Wedding photography….
On the day, I need to have my PJ, Art & Commercial photography hats on, and at the same time, be a choreographer & time keeper (p.s. I am still a commercial major by heart). I need to work hard for 12 hours and keep telling the bride how amazing she looks.
So, why would anyone want to become a wedding photographer?
My Answer. The joy of seeing them crying in happiness when they see the Album (yes! The Album, not the photos on CD) is priceless – I call it self-satisfaction. Then you get rewarded again and again, as others approach you, asking to capture their own story.
PSC welcomed a new part time group last night. The first class is a great opportunity for the new students to meet their teacher and also their fellow class mates. They were inspired by some graduate and current student images and were excited to get involved in the course to start producing work of their own!
PSC Communications & Students staff- Shannon, Carmen & Jess
