Anonymous

Anonymous was an art school photography project, ostensibly for a lightroom printing subject. I decided to use it to try a gonzo-journalist approach to documenting the anti-Scientology protests being conducted by the Anonymous movement in Sydney from the mid to late 2000s.

I arrived masked, everyone at the protest was masked. I informed the people I photographed of the nature of the photography in which I was engaged. I shot the images with my brand new iPhone 3GS. They were then processed  with colour and emphasis intents, and a strong pixelation compression was applied to the subjects.

These images are presented at 50% scale, in png format. The nature of the pixelation I’ve applied means it’s very hard to recompress them, without losing the very detail I worked to create, so 50% reduction in size is the only way to achieve acceptable web file sizes.

cloudlands house

Cloudlands house is a place you can rent in the blue mountains west of Sydney. It may look like a simple weatherboard cottage, but once you’re inside it’s all dark wood panelling, fireplaces and big clawfoot baths.
