On Thursday, I'll be showcasing images as part of 'Back to the Area' for @musicnsw , A group exhibition showcasing an alternative side to everyone's talents.
I've dug deep into the archives to pull images for this exhibition; most I'm sharing for the first time. In undertaking the process, I kind of pay it forward to the kid in slide 2, your photos finally get to see the light of day.
An assortment of documentation, portraiture and fun photos; images from 2017-2022.

Wildflower for wiiildfl0wer
Birthed as the brainchild of Inquisitive Minds (@inq.uisitiveminds ), Mo Aung (@moaung_ ) & Mary Isidro (@mrysid ); wiiildfl0wer is the fusion of pure energy and sound in it's most organic form.
Being present within a session of their latest album, these images were captured as a reflection of the organic moments shared within the studio. Beauty within the process, a pure unison.
Check out their project, another great one for the books.

Sharing some personal stills from a recent shoot; capturing the beauty in Wes' process and operation was a sight to behold.

Inner Varnika 2023
Halfway through the year and i'm still looking back smiling.
From Mr. Grey dropping Aaliyah into Dionne Warwick, Dozzy flooring me on a hill talking to stars, brushing my teeth to Flo Dill live and direct, bunning zoot to Dreamcastmoe smiling to his life affirming sentiments, being elated with confusion during Higher Intelligence Agency and DJ Sprinkles reinvigorating my soul; all I can say is thank you. A part of me lives on that sacred land.
A worthy send off. Beautiful time spent with beautiful souls; inside and out. All for the love of music, that sweet damn good music.

Hailing from Eora, Naarm & Meanjin; Kerfew is a celebration of South East Asian culture making their mark on the zeitgeist as a powerful collective. It's through mediums such as radio, performance and the arts; culminating in events, that their beauty of a collective stakes their claim in the scene today.

FRIDAY* (@seenonfriday ) for Maillot: In Motion (@maillot.ofc )
A pleasure always to capture the individuals who make up the zeitgeist of Sydney culture. This project was a pleasure to bring to fruition; organic energy and likemindedness were the key components to bringing these images to life.
A toast to embracing your individuality, truly living in your comfort.

Out of Bounds (@hazenagency ) w/ Serwah (@wrath_____ )
Serwah is a true individual in the sphere of Sydney; she has superseded any boundary set and created a world of her own.
A pioneer and champion of the art scene, Serwah is a multi-discplinary artist leading the charge in digital art/nft space and experimental music.
She has such a synonymous, identity-driven approach to art that speaks so true and touches the diverse culture that we have in Western Sydney. Her art speaks as a testament to allowing the world around you to form you, but twist and skew the world to your vision.
I've had the privilege to capture and share these images of such a wonderful personality, an individual that knows no bounds.
