Ugly Christmas Sweater Photo Shoots
Frankston Arts Centre
4:30-9:00pm
Awkward Portraits is Melbourne's original and best provider of (intentionally) daggy portraiture. Taking normal good-looking people, they dress them in horrid outfits, place them in uncomfortable poses, and photograph them for years of enjoyment! Visit Frankston Arts Centre to have your chance to be part of the fun!
Costumes and props are provided, unless you want to come fully equipped in your own daggy Christmas attire. Due to the demand for this free activity, this will be available on a first come, first served basis.
