"I went into DOF feeling very nervous and a bit of imposter syndrome about attending and if I should or shouldn't be there. All of this left pretty much straight away as the space was so welcoming and inclusive. There were people of all abilities, and everyone was there for the same reason: to connect and learn. I learnt so much and found the varied speaker panel so insightful. I left DOF feeling empowered, excited and energised in my photography journey. There have been opportunities that have popped up since DOF that I am looking forward to and grateful of the new connections made."

"I’ve never been in a room full of women and felt so comfortable - like I could talk to any of them at any time.”
“I loved hearing the experiences of others - turns out we are not too different! Great connection and conversations, loved the whole experience.”

Depth of Field was a melting pots of creativity, inspiration and energy.
Rachel Hadfield and Hales Ashby beautifully crafted this inaugural event with great thought and passion for their vision and the community. Thank you for creating something very special which I am sure will grow into a driving force in our industry.

"I can’t recommend Depth of Field highly enough. The speakers, the topics, the other attendees were all amazing. I was nervous to rock up to a space with a bunch of people at the top of their game do but everyone was so when I am still working out what I want to lovely, and felt the same as me! The conversations over lunch etc were just as valuable as the session themselves and I came away fired up, encouraged, inspired and challenged. Thank you so much Rach and Haley for creating such an incredible space for us to be open, honest and most of all, ourselves."

"I think just connecting with so many talented women in the industry - it was truly inspiring. I loved all the conversations, and I think it's so cool that there's been opportunities come out of this weekend for us. I loved hearing everyone's stories, from where they started and how it's all going. It was such a special weekend."

"I left feeling so inspired and made some really cool connections. It was really empowering and felt like a strong sense of community."
