A COLLECTION of photographs from Yarra Ranges’ enthusiasts is on offer for visitors at Warburton’s Upper Yarra Arts Centre, with the exhibition wrapping up early next month.
The Yarra Ranges Photographic Society’s exhibition, Expressions, opened on 15 May at the Arts Centre, and will finish up on Tuesday 9 June.
Featuring 55 photographic prints from the society’s members, committee member Rob Wagner said there was no set theme for the exhibition, just quality images.
“It’s just basically a collection of our favourite shots from recent times, all put together,” he said.
From landscapes to portraits, candid images to posed glamour shots, black and white to vivid colour and everything in-between, Expressions contains many different styles of photography, each eye-catching in its own way.
Mr Wagner said Expressions was the group’s first large-scale exhibition, and society vice-president Antony Dimmock said he was hoping to make it a biannual event.
The group features a range of happy-snappers from all walks of life, with the one requirement being an enthusiasm for getting behind a camera, according to Mr Wagner.
“If people want to join, they don’t have to feel like they’ve got to be experts,” he said.

The society meets from 7.30pm on the first Thursday and third Wednesday of each month at the Coldstream Community Centre on Kelso Road.
