Africultures 2024
Experience the vibrant Africultures festival in Sydney, a celebration of African diaspora cultures, music, and cuisine through my frames captured on September 28 2024.
My Quiet Corner
I've always cherished the small moments that pepper our daily lives—those fleeting instances we often overlook, only noticing their absence when it's too late. While I'm not obsessive about capturing them, nonetheless they end up being the focus of my photography whenever I take a series of photos. The following images are frames I captured during my recent visit to Ethiopia, specifically from my parents' backyard.
እትብት / Etebt
Etebt, an Amharic term, refers to the umbilical cord—the essence of where you come from and who you are. With this project, I aim to capture people working in different creative mediums and understand what inspires and drives their creations. It's a mixed-media project where I'll compile video and audio interviews of these creatives, along with portraits I've taken or edited.
Radio Skidrow Supporter Drive
Images from a supporter drive event for Radio Skidrow's which was held between May 20th and June 30th. This included some outside live broadcasts aimed at connecting with the local community and highlighting local acts. The images were taken during these events using a Sony NEX 5 camera and edited in Lightroom and VSCO.
PA-Anon Walk May 2024
After a lengthy break, I had the chance to join PhotogAnon for a photo walk at the Whitebay Power Station. This location, closed for many years, was specifically opened for an event part of the Sydney Biennale 2024. The pictures from the walk, taken with a #FujiXT3, are showcased here. I utilized VSCO and its #AgfaUltra100 film filter to add warmth to the images.
