Carol Mayer was severely burnt in a house fire as a young mum. A decade on she posed for me for a story in a Sunday newspaper. I wanted to capture the spirit in those wonderful captivating eyes surrounded by the evidence of her burns.

Jonathan May
Dalai the Lama, has been dreaming of this moment his whole life while grazing in his paddock near Dural. He has driven his friends insane constantly talking about his obsession with television and fame. He knows the importance of his first audition, and he also knows he will never get another shot at his dreams. He is so nervous his legs are shaking and his fur on his stomach is quivering. All he can think about is returning back to his flock and the questions they will be asking -
"how did you go Dalai?" "Are you famous yet Dalai?"
His thoughts shift back to the audition and he just hopes he remembers his lines...

Part of a wider look at Australia's rural underclass, this photograph capture a moment of tenderness between the father, a fifty year-old scrap metal worker and his six-month-old son.
Beer and loud music feature prominently in the scrap yard where the family lives, yet in this moment it all seems to come to a complete stand-still.

He is growing up. He is confident and clever, but it's a big world out there. I long to see him grow, but I want him to stay young forever.
