PHOTOGRAPHY PROTÉGÉS WITH HEIDE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART

Through the lens of a new generation, familiar moments take on extraordinary meaning. Sofitel Melbourne On Collins proudly partners with Heide Museum of Modern Art to present Photography Protégés, celebrating emerging photographic talent and the enduring artistic influence of French photographer Brassaï.

A New Generation Behind the Lens

From 26 October 2026 | Atrium Gallery, Level 35

Drawing inspiration from Heide’s Brassaï: Secret Paris exhibition, aspiring photographers were invited to explore the world through a different lens, capturing the beauty of everyday moments through light, shadow and composition.

Packing the Night Away, Juliette De Zilva (Junior)

Flinders Street Station, Grover Treyvan (Senior)

Featuring selected works across two age categories, Junior (7–11 years) and Senior (12–17 years), the exhibition showcases fresh perspectives and the creative imagination of Melbourne’s next generation of photographic talent.

The Women Behind the Red Curtain, Maia Ford (Senior)

Possibilities through the Argyle Steps, Kylie Liu (Senior)

As all Sofitel hotels worldwide opens their doors for the next generation on World Children’s Day, Sofitel Melbourne On Collins welcomes Photography Protégés as we encourage young voices and nurture artistic expression together, offering them a glimpse into the possibilities of seeing the world differently.
