His expertise is further recognised through his status as an Accredited Senior Imaging Scientist (ASIS) and a Fellow (FRPS) of the Royal Photographic Society. Porter’s contemporary photography has been showcased in leading museums, galleries, and photography festivals both in Australia and abroad. His work is held in esteemed private and public collections and has been shortlisted for prestigious international photography awards, including the Head On Portrait Award, the Olive Cotton Portrait Award, the Stanthorpe Photography Award, the Mullins Conceptual Photography Prize, and the Black & White Photo Award (Paris). In 2022, his first solo exhibition, The Holga Experiment, debuted at the New England Regional Art Museum, solidifying his presence as an innovative voice in contemporary art photography. His current projects embrace humanist photography, revealing the depth of the human spirit and the realities of social life.
