F. Stop Workshop was a photography program based in Wagga Wagga between 2021 - 2023.

F.Stop Workshop was formed as a collaborative project between James Farley and Patrick Ronald in 2021.

Our goal was to inspire creativity, confidence, and curiosity through photographic education and experiences. We provided education, community, and creative services for people of all ages and abilities. We also ran the Riverina’s first wet-plate collodion portrait studio.

Our Vision: A better future through creativity, education, and community.

Our Mission: We are for regional Australia. Whether through practice, research, advocacy, or education, our creative skills can contribute towards a regional Australia that is creative, progressive, inclusive, and ambitious.

Our Values: We believe that through creativity, education, and community, a more equitable future of coexistence is possible. For our part in this future, we seek to hold space for young and emerging artists; to be better allies to Australia’s First Nations communities; to create accessible and inclusive opportunities for creative engagement; to respect the diversity of the human experience, and to tread lightly on the earth.
