OBSCURA
Paves The Way for Bali's Photographic Comunity
Friends and photographers galore converged on Obscura on 22nd April, for the opening of Arvid Nicolas’s inspirational new photo studio and gallery. A talented and enterprising photographer, Arvid made his name initially through his fashion and commercial images, and more recently through the visual documentation of his extensive travels. Well-known in Bali, his remarkable photographs have appeared in numerous publications and a collection of his framed prints now grace the walls of his gallery.
Obscura, however, is not just a place for Arvid’s work. The fully equipped professional studio is available for rent on a daily basis. Visiting and resident photographers will have use of a sophisticated lighting system, backdrops, tabletops, and adjoining meeting rooms, together with the services of an assistant.
The gallery, meanwhile, will host rotating exhibitions of photography and 2-dimensional, mixed media, visual and digital art. Anyone who is interested can arrange an exhibition of their work, making the facility a great jumping board for young photographers and newcomers to the island. Furthermore, Obscura will host functions, courses, seminars and workshops in the field of photography, together with photo trips to the far reaches of Bali and beyond. Also on offer is a photography information service so that visiting photographers can learn, for example, where to purchase supplies.
By inviting photographers to get together to share information and ideas, Arvid’s visionary objective is to create a photographic community in Bali.
