The Stirling photography festival is a volunteer-lead, community project dedicated to building community, fostering creativity, and developing skills through photography. Our annual festival takes place in late summer with exhibitions, events, and workshops in Stirling and the surrounding areas.

2025 was our biggest year ever, where we went above and Beyond!
In 2025 our festival theme was ‘Beyond.’ During the festival, record breaking audiences visited our exhibitions, attended numerous artist talks and Q&As, participated in our outstanding workshops, and contributed to our biggest ever photo book. A long list of esteemed photographers and artists graced Stirling with their work throughout August and September, including Ron O’Donnel, Simon Murphy, and Jennifer Charleton to name a few.
