Studio In The Street

‘Studio In The Street’ is a little project I started in August 2024 here in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray where I live and have my little studio.

The idea was to take a couple of strobes, a small backdrop, apple box for a seat and stands out into the street, set it all up and ask random people walking by if they would like a quick portrait.

I wanted a studio kind of vibe, but shoot wide enough for the viewer to see that it took place in the street.

Five people agreed to get a portrait. I grabbed their email, packed it all up and went home. A couple of days later I sent them a free copy of my selections.

I shared them on the local community Facebook page and was overwhelmed by the positive feedback.

A couple of people asked me if I would do a shoot for them so I setup two extra days where I took portraits over the next month.

It was great meeting people from the page, and an amazing learning experience which I look forward to repeating both here in Footscray and other Melbourne suburbs.
