The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre
The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre is closed.
We kick off 2026’s edition of Digital stories with Filipino-Australian local photographer and videographer, Justin Cueno.
Justin walks us through how his artistic journey began to where he stands now as one of western Sydney’s leading photographers.
He takes us behind the lens to celebrate not only the craft and discipline of his practice but also the community, friends and peers that have contributed to his career along the way.
This is a story about craft, community, and finding your eye.
Available to stream from 26 June.
