Rockabilly (portraits), 2007
These ‘photo booth’ portraits were created in small makeshift studios during the Fifties Fair at Rose Seidler House and backstage at GreazeFest in Brisbane in 2007.
Photographer Steven Siewert invited visitors at each event to pose against a white backdrop, with the intention of documenting individual looks. The result is a series of photographs showing the diversity across the rockabilly, psychobilly and hillbilly scenes. The portraits were deliberately taken in black and white, rather than colour, to highlight details of the fashions and styles and each subject’s personal ‘take’ on the scene.
