Chris Budgeon, Photographer, Sydney

Description

An ensemble of nine diverse individuals poses together in a richly styled indoor set captured by photographer Chris Budgeon. The group features varied eccentric characters, including a man in a plaid robe holding a mounted bird, a woman blowing a blue bubblegum bubble while holding a fishbowl, an older man in a tweed suit holding a drink, and several women in athletic or formal vintage wear. The scene is illuminated with soft, direct lighting that creates a slightly muted, retro color palette dominated by creams, browns, reds, and plaids. Each subject displays a distinct expression ranging from stern to playful, contributing to a surreal and theatrical narrative atmosphere.
