Discover the art of sisterhood with Exposure 2025 Emerging Photographer of the Year, Lana Collins. Join us on May 1, 2026, at The Camera Store as photographer Lana Collins explores sisterhood and her photography book All My Sisters during an intimate artist talk about how sisterhood exists both as a relationship and as a moment, appearing in shared rituals, in whispered encouragement, and in unspoken understandings. This project, a visual love letter to sisterhood in all its forms, seeks to reveal the emotional labour, tenderness, humour, and chosen connection that define how we show up for one another. Capturing fleeting, profound moments, each image is a testament to connection and a celebration of the authenticity we reveal when we feel truly seen.
