a lush life by Peter davis
A Lush Life culminated from a collection of photographs shot during 2011-13 as a personal project to shoot people candidly in and around Sydney. Most of these were during commutes on Sydney transport (nothing like a captive audience) and some city streets. Heavily inspired from a trip to the US and a lucky visit to a Winogrand exhibition, it became a fun obsession for a while. The experience brought a commonly witnessed dimension of fellow passengers - tired, trapped and frustrated or finding escapism and solace.
