Conference Photography & Videography at PARKROYAL Parramatta Some events stay with you long after the final speech, the last photograph, and the pack down. Koshka Media recently photographed and filmed the conference – Silence to Power: Amplifying Voices for Justice at PARKROYAL Parramatta, an International Women’s Day signature event presented by Settlement Services International (SSI) and the Western Sydney Region Settlement Consortium (WSRSC). Bringing together more than 200 guests, the day centred on the launch of Messages from Captivity: For Ali, for Us All – Amera Ali, a powerful memoir by young Yezidi woman and ISIS survivor Amera Ali. Amera shared words she had written on scraps of paper and hidden in her clothes at just ten years old, messages to her brother Ali, who remains missing. Her story gave the event enormous emotional weight and reminded everyone in the room that bearing witness can be the first act of justice. Photographing and Filming Silence to Power for International Women’s Day One of the most memorable elements of the day was a tree lit with warm lights at the heart of the room. It symbolised one of the last places Amera and her brother were together before ISIS separated them, under a fig tree. As guests left, they hung commitment leaves on its branches, each one representing a promise of action in support of refugee and migrant women’s voices. It was a thoughtful and moving detail that shaped the mood of the event from beginning to end. A Moving Conference Honouring Refugee and Migrant Women’s Voices Throughout the conference, another theme emerged with quiet strength: mothers. Again and again, speakers reflected on the women who carried them through hardship, often with resilience the world never properly acknowledged. That thread connected Amera’s story to the panellists’ experiences and to conversations across the room, reminding everyone that supporting refugee and migrant women means honouring past generations while building better futures for those to come. A powerful idea also stood out across the day: the need to move beyond the phrase lived experience and recognise lived expertise. Refugee and migrant women are not simply sharing stories. They bring insight, knowledge and leadership that should be centred in decision making, policy and practice. As the speakers and panellists made clear, real inclusion means shared power and meaningful leadership at the table. The event also highlighted the work of the organisations behind it. Settlement Services International (SSI) and the Western Sydney Region Settlement Consortium (WSRSC), together with co-hosts and members including SydWest Multicultural Services, Accessible Diversity Services Initiative (ADSI) Limited, Community Migrant Resource Centre, Western Sydney MRC, and event partner 2M Language Services, created a day that felt purposeful, respectful and deeply considered. The venue played its part beautifully. PARKROYAL Parramatta provided a polished and welcoming setting for a conference of this scale, with modern event spaces and a central Western Sydney location well suited to professional and community focused gatherings.

Michael Morgan OAM Lunch at Deckhouse Woolwich
A Full Room for Michael Morgan OAM at Deckhouse Woolwich Last month we had the privilege of photographing a very special community lunch honouring Michael Morgan OAM. The room was full of former students, colleagues and well wishers, all gathered to celebrate a man who has given so much to Australian rowing and to generations of rowers he coached and mentored. Michael is an Olympic silver medallist, former Australian representative rower and one of the most respected rowing coaches in the country. Set against the water at Deckhouse in Woolwich, the afternoon had a warm and generous feel from the moment guests arrived. The venue looked beautiful, the room was buzzing, and the food was every bit as good as the setting. Plates arrived full of rich, beautifully presented dishes, and between courses the conversations kept flowing. What stood out most was the feeling in the room. People from different rowing eras were reconnecting after many years, sharing stories, laughs and memories. There were heartfelt speeches, friendly hugs, and a deep sense of gratitude for the coach who had shaped so many lives both on and off the water. It felt less like a formal event and more like a reunion built on respect, friendship and appreciation. Photographing gatherings like this is always special. It is not just about documenting a function, but about capturing the connection between people, the emotion in the room, and the small moments that tell the real story of the day.
