Finalist in the Moran Photographic Prize.
This image was shot as part of the series Tails in the City, commissioned by The Historic Houses Trust in Sydney.
This documentary series celebrates the vibrant chaos of children’s birthday rituals, particularly the special luxuries and the little delicacies that we learn to expect on such occasions. The series questions if there exists an underlying competitiveness and pressure for parents, targeted by advertising and the immense number of birthday packages available to families, to be bigger and better.
Entire series shot on Fuji 400 film.
