Subculture
Eight photo-essays, from a series originally commissioned by Metro magazine between 2006 and 2010 that examine the nature of Aucklanders who gather together in ways that most of us do not realise or even notice.
The Metro writer would arrange for access to a Subculture activity with the request that apart from some interviews we for the most part would like to just observe.
Much more than a multi-ethnic overview, it includes unusual pursuits such as parkour, activities like a women’s poker tournament and the theatrics of pro-wrestling.
Without exception the participants welcomed us with open arms and open hearts.
These photographs are a tribute to their generosity.
