Like the Before the Game series [link] and The Cup series [link] before it showing the accumulation of objects no longer wanted by society brought to light by poor event management not emptying the bins before they began to overflow. I guess in the case of the Melbourne City Council they didn't realise how popular the Melbourne White Night was going to be which by all accounts was popular. 

Trying to keep things objective in a Bernd Hilla and Becher [link] kind of way.

Based on the Phillip-Lorca diCorcia Heads [link] series of portraits taken in the streets of New York where overhead flashes were used to light the subject and overpower the available daylight resulting in a spotlight halo effect, focusing on the subject mid-thought and unaware of the camera. I shot the 2010 World Road Cycling Championships held in Geelong, Australia, in the same way, using off camera flash in an area covered in shadow. The same thing has also been done by Katrin Koenning in her Thirteen: Twenty Lacuna [link] series, using sunlight reflected off buildings and direct sunlight in a Melbourne laneway. It's not original but captures these athletes, in a way that I haven't seen them captured before.
