Australia Street - Portraits from the Inner West

Australia Street - Portraits from the Inner West A page by photographer Zahn Pithers about his project "Australia Street - Portraits from the Inner West"

Australia Street - Portraits of the Inner West, is an art project by local photographer and Artist Zahn Pithers. It's a peek behind the curtains of everyday Australians in the Inner West of Sydney
Australia Street is where these portraits were taken, and the Street where many of the subjects live and/or work. Everyone has a story to tell, an interest, hobby or cultural identity to uncover. Often t

hese traits go largely unseen as we pass each other in the street. Australia Street allows us to peer into the lives of our neighbours and reveal something about them we may not have previously known, thereby peeling back layers of the unknown. Australia street allows us to become familiar with those around us. The Inner West is a full of diverse, talented and interesting folk, this project pays homage to these people. Each subject has been approached by the artist to pose for a portrait. The subject is then asked to bring an object to the shoot that represents them in some way. The resulting stylised portrait combines these elements with intricate lighting to produce a truly original set of portraits.
