Four photographers will be traversing our region over Easter Saturday to create a unique snapshot of what really goes on across the Bellarine Peninsula over the course of 24 hours.
Sports Media’s Marcel Berens and three other local photographers came up with the concept of Bellarine 24 – a coffee table book of candid photography that captures the diversity of our community.
“There is so much that goes on over a 24 hour period across sporting clubs, community organisations, businesses and vital services like the police and ambulance,” Mr Berens said.
“Bellarine 24 is a unique opportunity to portray the good, bad and ugly through photography, creating a time capsule of the region in 2019.”
Mr Berens believes the use of candid photography for this project is important, particularly in the era of social media.
“So many of the images we see today are heavily planned and produced,” he said.
“We are keen to capture things as they really occur – from the bakers starting work at 3am, to the last of the revellers leaving the pub at closing time.”
The book will be available for sale in May 2019. For more information, go to bellarine24.com.au.
There is an opportunity for local amateur photographers to get involved in Bellarine 24. Candid photos taken on Easter Saturday around the Bellarine Peninsula can be submitted to photos@Bellarine24.com.au and will be considered for inclusion in the book.
Photos selected for inclusion will be accredited to the photographer.
Businesses that are interested in being a potential location to be visited by the four photographers should also register their interest at marcel@Bellarine24.com.au
