This series is a personal ongoing documentation of urban commuters in their urban environment. My original inspiration started whilst capturing contemporary architectural buildings with daily commuters in their day to day environment.
I began to relate to these people on their quest to reach a destination, a goal, which I guess is what we spend most of our lives doing. I’ve also found in my own experiences that the lightness & darkness in each image somehow represents the 2 sides to most human behavior patterns with all the shades of grey in between.
Stewart Leishman
Stewart was born in Sydney, grew up in Cairns and now lives in Melbourne. His profession for the past 12 years has been cooking, working as a chef. He accidentally discovered photography whilst on a holiday in Hong Kong. With a Sony Cyber shot point & shoot, there was no stopping.
Even now, after two and a half years of photographing, he is surprised to look back at the images that he created without knowing any compositional laws. A friend commented that he had an eye after viewing snap shots, however it needed refining. “It was that moment that could have crushed my hopes and dreams but his encouragement lead me on to the path of photography”.
