Public Exhibition: ‘In Transit’ at the Leica Gallery

In November 2025, I was fortunate enough to join a Leica Akademie photographic tour of Morocco. It was one of those experiences that stays with you long after you've come home.

I had left my academic career earlier that year to pursue photography seriously, and the Morocco tour felt like a meaningful divide between leaving my academic role and merging into having a new identity in photography.

Travelling with a group of photographers, under the guidance of Jesse Marlow and Stephen Dupont, and working in an environment that was visually rich and constantly surprising, was exactly the kind of immersion I needed.

One of the images I made on that trip has since been selected for inclusion in In Transit, a group exhibition at the Leica Gallery Melbourne and Sydney, featuring work by photographers from the Leica Akademie. The show runs until 2 August 2026.

The image was made on the streets of Morocco — a reflection of buildings caught in a shop window.

What drew me to make the image was the appeal of its layering: architecture refracted through glass, two realities occupying the same surface at once. It felt like a fitting image for a show called In Transit. Things that are present and not quite present at the same time.

Thanks to the team at Leica Australia for curating the show!
