Product Photography Studio with Kelly Holinshead
Whether you are submitting work for consideration at shows, galleries,
competitions, are uploading images to a web site, developing a portfolio,

of doing it yourself. Professional photographer, Kelly Holinshead will be
setting up a studio at the Chapel Gallery so you can have up to five items
photographed. In addition, you will also have an opportunity to have a
head shot done as well. The first booking date is Tuesday, January 24.

is just $50 + HST. Please note that the fees are non-refundable should you
