This week as part of our Stories from the Studio we are featuring the STA Media Associates, or as we cheekily call them the STA Paparazzi.  

As much as we try the STA team can’t get to every event in the region and the STA Paparazzi team have been filling the gaps. You might have seen them at local events.

The group met for a weekend of photography training with Hamish Ta-mé in February and have been out in the region attending local events to photograph and collect stories. 

It’s been a wonderful way for STA to extend their reach into the community.

You can check out The STA Paparazzi: the captured moment exhibition is on now at Mental Gallery in Bowral until 11 April or view it online. Vote for your favourite image in the People’s Choice in the poll below and win a limited edition A3 print of your choice from the exhibition. 

Look out for the STA Paparazzi at an event near you.

Covering arts and cultural events in your local community

STA manage a team of community based Media Associates. This wonderful group of enthusiastic volunteers are committed to capturing arts events and programs happening across our region. 

You can invite an STA Paparazzi to cover your next arts and cultural event by contacting us. Images and content their produce connects you to your audience over the STA networks and allows us to amplify your promotions and let people know more about the great achievements of our creative industries. 

The team were professionally trained by one of Australia’s most experienced event photographers Hamish Ta-mé to capture GREAT images. Check out Hamish’s work at @hamish.tame or scroll down for more fab examples of Hamish’s pics.
