We had an incredible workshop this week @photoherts. The talented Diane Bielik guided everyone in crafting exquisite box portfolios. It was a testament to the dedication & hard work of all involved. A fantastic conclusion to the teaching year.

Huge congratulations to our @photoherts L6 student for their end-of-year show. We are very proud of you and your achievements over the last three years. None of this would be possible without the work of the fantastic staff team, Diane, Phil, and Daniel.

It's great to have the brilliant Nadine Scarlett, a UH alumnus, back at the University. Nadine has inspired and supported our L6 photographers throughout her industry journey.
