Point & Shoot – Australian Veteran Photography Exhibition
We are excited to announce that Mark Direen from Point Assist will be hosting a photography exhibition in the Henley and Grange RSL.
Showcasing career imagery and accompanying stories from Australian veterans, this exhibition provides a rare glimpse into the life and experiences of fellow Australians who have served their country.
The purpose of the Point & Shoot exhibition is not to display perfectly captured photos from professional photographers. But rather, to share some of those moments frozen in time that those who serve our nation thought were worth remembering across a range of peace and wartime operations.
The exhibition will comprise around 60 images.
