Project Street 7:30 - group exhibition

Melbourne photographers Craig Wetjen and Steve Scalone have teamed up to create a unique one day event, Project Street 7:30. Thirty photographers, each with their own vision, will come together to become part of a special one day photographic alliance.

This unique collaboration of 30 photographers will each create a distinctive image of Melbourne street life, with each allowed seven hours in which to shoot, edit, and print their image, culminating in the exhibition of the best images taken on the same day.

The exhibition launched on 3 June 2017 and a number of prints were auctioned on the night. By the end of the evening, almost $12,000 was raised for the organisation, Kids Under Cover, to help the homeless of Melbourne.
