National Photographic Portrait Prize 2016 Finalist

Fox Place, 2015

Fox Place investigates the idea of the 21st century family and how 'family' naturally forms in the share house environment. In the backyard of a Canberra share house, this group has been brought together by the basic necessity to live. Harry, Kaitlin, Maddie and Joel have created a space that is more than just a means to survive; they have turned this house into a home. Through their time living together, this group of friends has become family.
