Showcasing the best contemporary Australian street photography in 2018

AUSSIE STREET in 2018 has a distinctive appeal and community. Our photography has much to do with the quality of our light — sometimes within the cities, but also by sand and water — all of which we are fortunate to have plenty of in our lives. We all have varied styles, techniques and outlooks, however, we are united by our shared passion for photographing life as it happens.

In the five years since the last major group showing of Australian street photography at hEAdoN, we have witnessed the renewed popularity of the genre of street photography. Burgeoned by the democratic accessibility of ‘the street’ and the rapid expansion of technology and social media, the genre’s revitalisation is now a global phenomenon. Our exhibition harnesses this international momentum locally and gives a platform to both established artists as well as up-and-coming talents who are committed to documenting the time and place in which we live.

AUSSIE STREET features an exhibition of works by some of Australia’s leading street photographers as well as the finalist exhibition of our inaugural competition, which has been curated by a world-renowned judging panel including legendary Melbourne street photographer, Jesse Marlow.
