Street Photography

During the mid-20th century, enterprising street photographers were a familiar sight on our city streets, capturing candid moments in the lives of countless people. 

Drawn from hundreds of private family albums, this extraordinary record is displayed alongside contemporary images by photo-media artist Anne Zahalka. 

Street Photography is a travelling exhibition from Sydney Living Museums.
