I was commissioned to photograph at Carriageworks in Eveleigh ahead of the annual Affordable Art Fair, Sydney. My brief was to focus on one of the participating galleries while staff brought artworks into the space to install in preparation for the weekend’s opening.
The image was made to accompany an article published in the Australian Financial Review (AFR) promoting the upcoming event — providing a great opportunity to give readers a glimpse behind the scenes at one of Sydney’s most popular art fairs.
Carriageworks is an inspiring venue to photograph, with its industrial textures and dramatic light, which help to create a striking backdrop for contemporary art. It was great to be able to document the period of set-up and quiet anticipation before the doors opened to the public, and the fair came to life.
