The Colour Box Studio Disposable Camera Project – CBSDCP- is a Melbourne-wide participatory photography project where participants get a disposable camera for 24 hours only, after which Colour Box Studio develops, prints and exhibits all photos in an amazing 24-hour snapshot of Melbourne.
For the CBSDCP Third Edition 2014, Colour Box Studio partnered with Ruffian Gallery and Prism Imaging – we couldn’t have pulled off the most successful edition of the project without them!
In August 2014, Colour Box Studio launched a Pozible crowdfunding campaign to take over 100 registrations and raise funds for the project. The CBSDCP Exhibition Opening night took place on 2 October at Ruffian Gallery: 361 Barkly St, Footscray, 6-9pm.
See photos from the CBSDCP: Third Edition Exhibition Opening at Ruffian Gallery here.
This Third Edition included of feature images, specially curated by Colour Box Studio and Ruffian Gallery, as well as professional judging, a People’s Choice competition, and prizes. Participants photographed a diverse range of subject matter, including abstract urban landscapes, trips to local beaches, animal portraits and more.
