Awkward Portraits Christmas Pop-Up

Awkward Portraits is a very important initiative by Melbourne-based photographer Karin Locke. She takes good-looking people, dresses them horrendously, then captures photographic evidence. Simple.

Locke takes private bookings and shoots at studio days and pop-ups. Given ‘tis (almost) the season to be jolly, she's hosting a Christmas edition at Preston Market. Ugly festive sweaters and theme-appropriate props will be provided. Marketgoers need only bring their A game. And by "A" we mean awkwardness.

Portraits are free and there’s no need to book. Fly solo, rally the troops or head along for the people-watching (it’s bound to be topnotch). Then pick up some market produce while you’re at it.

From 11am to 3pm.
