Further Details About the Additional Opt-In Opportunity:

Collaborate with a Photographer in Telling Your Story

Moreland: 23/03/2020 to xx/xx/xxxx began as a personal photographic project to share the stories of Moreland community members during this challenging time. The project has now evolved into an open community-engaged platform for storytelling. The photographic project continues as an opt-in opportunity. 

When submitting your story, you may opt-in and express interest in working collaboratively with a photographer ( Anne Moffat and Simon Aubor ). 

A photographer will work collaboratively with you to document your experience(s) and visually tell your story (as an individual, business or collective). This is a wonderful opportunity to share your story and/or promote your business/arts practice etc. 

These profiles will be featured on our website, at the launch event and as printed paste-ups in public space (Moreland locations TBC). 

 We encourage all to apply for this opportunity. Though please do keep in mind that we are a small team and at present only have capacity to deliver a select number of featured profiles at this time.
