Unveiling Melbourne's Vibrant Urban Street Art Scene from Past to Present

Before the lockdowns, I started a project capturing some beautiful street urban art in and around Melbourne. Unfortunately, I haven’t been out recently to continue with this project hoping to get back into it soon.

Melbourne’s renowned street art scene begins in the iconic Hosier Lane. This narrow alleyway has become synonymous with the city’s urban art culture, drawing visitors from around the world to witness the kaleidoscope of colours, characters, and shapes brought to life by both local and international artists. Hundreds of art enthusiasts flock to this bustling lane to admire the stunning street art that has made its mark on Melbourne’s cultural landscape.

Here are some of the images collected over the years.

There is indeed much street art around Melbourne and the surrounding suburbs and cities @EwanArnolda

If you’re in the city at the right time you might even get some of the laneways like Hosier to yourself.

Hello my dear friend, @PaulPavlinovich ,

Hope you are doing fine…

Your photo is very impressive - loved the composing & the ‘Lighting’, very specially - thanks for sharing…

Is this a mobile capture or a camera?

"… why Google Photo album?.."

That is really a very important question…

If you are familiar with Google Photos, then Google Maps Album is a very method to share multiple photos. You may upload your photos to an album & share the link, so that those who are interested can see.

In your case, you have published a few photos in the post (they are looking very elegant) while there are many more still photos added in the video clip… Right?

We can’t enjoy still photos in videos as it loses resolution a lot.

Hope you got my point…

Regards with greetings, dear @EwanArnolda

  1. @EwanArnolda I have been to this Hoiser Lane to see the street art there. Although there are many beautiful and artistic murals at this back lane, cleanliness should be improved to make the place more attractive. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos.

You are mentioning OMD EM1 M-III… Right?

It is a powerful camera, though I’m a Sony fan, I admire this model of Olympus - fortunately, I have shared it with a friend of mine for a few days.

Thanks for your kind response, dear friend @PaulPavlinovich .

Best wishes with greetings from Bangalore, India

It’s funny @TravellerG , I hardly ever get the OM out of its bag anymore. I nearly always shoot with my phone unless I am shooting a model - they have certain expectations and would get upset if I used a phone when they’re paying me lol.

Hello, dear friend @PaulPavlinovich Ji,

I can understand… Of course, models will surely expect good gears when they pay for it…

Greetings…

I think it’s more they expect a certain image, they expect a camera with an impressive looking lens, flashing lights and soft boxes. I usually do take a few with the phone to give them on the spot for their socials @TravellerG
