One very rainy Australia Day (January 26th 2015), in the 2GO107.7 FM studio with 2014 The Voice finalist Sabrina Batshon.
I parked my car across the street, trudged to the studio door with camera at the ready then proceeded to wait, in the rain, for the door to be opened. Soggy and disorientated, I was guided through the labyrinth of studios towards the sound of laughter.
Sabrina Batshon sat at the sound engineer’s desk and stood to greet me as I arrived. If you’ve ever met me, or perhaps even seen a photo of me within any sort of scene to draw perspective from, you would know: I am small. If I am not the shortest person in the room, it’s probably because I am in a preschool.
Sabrina has an amazing voice, she effortlessly reaches across several octaves – a range I would have, prior to meeting her, insisted was beyond human capacity.
I very much enjoyed this photo shoot, and what’s more, I’m looking forward to working with Sabrina Batshon again soon with her upcoming album with my brother, Brendan Horn.
Last week, I had the privilege of attending the University of New England Arts and Sciences graduation. I travelled to Armidale, in northern New South Wales to see my sister-in-law make the successful transition from undergraduate to alumni.
Being that she was a correspondence student, she had only visited the campus virtually. So, the first time this graduate saw her university, was the day she graduated from that university.
I tried to capture the unconventional nature of her tertiary experience. Yes, she graduated as part of a larger group. But her experience of the university had been uniquely solitary. She was both a part of something, and detached from everything.
This is my photographic study of one student’s graduation.
