Join co-curators Catlin Langford and Metro Auto Photo’s Jessie Norman and Christopher Sutherland for a tour of exhibition Auto-Photo: A Life in Portraits.

They will discuss their process of bringing together examples from the local and international photobooth community, and highlight the significance of Alan Adler to Melbourne.

Catlin Langford is a curator, writer and researcher specialising in photography. She has held a range of curatorial and educational positions, including at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, Victoria and Albert Museum and Royal College of Art, among others. 

Christopher Sutherland has had a career in photography, self-taught with a camera since his early teens. He has over ten years' experience as professional photographer and videographer, establishing Metro Auto Photo with Jessie in 2022.

Jessie Norman, originally from Brisbane, has extensive professional experience in marketing and graphic design, currently working as a stylist and studio manager alongside Chris.
