Into The Wild
12–16 June 2026
Into The Wild explored wildness as both a physical force and an emotional state. Moving between dramatic landscapes, ocean imagery, urban rhythm, abstraction and intimate human experience, the exhibition invited visitors to step beyond the familiar and encounter photography that felt immediate, instinctive and alive.
Within this broad group presentation, IRID photographers John Wiseman and Guy Little brought distinct approaches to the natural world—one grounded in wildlife observation and the other in the movement, energy and atmosphere of the coast.

Kaleidoscope
31 May–2 June 2025
Kaleidoscope explored the many ways photography can reshape familiar subjects through pattern, reflection, colour and perspective. Geometric structure sat beside playful visual ambiguity, while the broader group presentation moved through nature, macro, seascape, aerial, infrared and intentional camera movement.
For IRID photographers Dani Watson and Guy Little, the exhibition created a setting in which atmosphere, movement and abstraction could be read alongside very different photographic practices—revealing how a single theme can produce an expansive range of visual responses.

Splash
22–25 November 2024
Splash brought together a wide group of Australian photographers in a lively presentation of contemporary image-making. The exhibition moved across landscape, wildlife, abstraction, architecture and fine art photography, creating an energetic encounter between very different ways of seeing.
The sold-out opening night drew artists, educators and industry guests into M2 Gallery, while the exhibition itself offered visitors the chance to discover new work and spend time with photographs produced for the wall. IRID photographers Guy Little, Dani Watson and John Wiseman each contributed a distinctive visual voice to the group presentation.
