Centre for Contemporary Photography

Eclectic gallery devoted to Australian photography.

I recently visited the Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP) gallery and was amazed by the three exhibitions currently on display. From traditional black-and-white pieces to contemporary color photography, each show offered something unique and captivating.The CCP is a real haven for photographers and art lovers alike - it truly offers something special. The atmosphere of the space is inviting and inspiring, with plenty of room to explore and appreciate each piece of artwork. The staff are also incredibly knowledgeable about all of the works, so if you have any questions they're always happy to help.

Awesome exhibition space with lovely staff who know their stuff and absolutely beautiful works!!

I know my comments will go against the flow, and likely will be evidence for some that I am a philistine who knows nothing about art.So be it.If you relish the idea of lots of Chinese nudity, together with photos of children, also Chinese, displaying evidence of abnormal development and physical abuse, then you must go to the CCP / I mean the Centre for Contemporary Photography (get it?).Along with the photographs are “blurbs” to explain each photographer’s intentions and background, in English and Chinese. These are quite interesting and informative. And yet, the descriptions are sometimes confronting and jarring, as for example, describing the children’s expressions as “care free” when they clearly were anything but.At one level, I know that art interpretation is very individual, and any example of artistic expression may give rise to opposite emotional responses.But surely, there must be some common ground, some sharing of values, some appeal by the artist to share his or her perspective of the subject?Sorry but this collection failed to reach this basic goal for me.

Very professional and comfortable with a nice variety of photography on display

Not a big gallery; however good books in the book shop and good choices of artist.

The gallery was fantastic - short and sweet, and kept me engaged the entire time (about 30 mins).

The recent exhibition Fertile Ground" was fantastic. Regrettably

Great venue for exhibits and the photographic community

A small art gallery that is also used for wedding ceremonies. Lots of wonderful black and white photos on the walls.
