Michelle Dunn photographs commissioned and personal documentary photography projects in Melbourne, Ballarat, and throughout Victoria and Australia

I recently headed over to Nova Scotia on a whirlwind trip for my brother’s wedding. I was very nearly in the air longer than I was on the ground, but it was worth it. Not only to be part of my brother’s commitment to his now wife, but also to see a part of the…
