About the Exhibition

June 28th - July 12th, 2026

Join us for Origins, an editorial photography exhibition presented by School of Fillet @fillet.studios Fillet Studios

Through the School of Fillet, a 2-month mentorship program, five emerging photographers explored the foundations of creative direction, visual storytelling, editorial photography techniques, and leading studio productions from concept to completion. With mentorship, collaboration, and experimentation, each student developed a unique photographic body of work centered around the theme Origins.

Origins invites a deeper exploration of the ideas, emotions, identities, memories, and experiences that shape who we are. Each photographer was challenged to interpret the theme through their own lens, creating work that reflects what resonates most deeply in their lives and creative practices.

The resulting exhibition showcases five distinct editorial series that move between personal reflection and artistic experimentation, offering intimate perspectives on identity, expression, belonging, transformation, and self-discovery. We invite you to experience these stories, connect with the artists, and celebrate the culmination of their creative journeys.
