James Bugg

It was around the age of about five that James Bugg first recalls handling a camera. My sister and I would make terrible quality documentaries about the different plants in our garden,” he says. “My shaky, often easily distracted video footage was hard to watch.” But then, he’s always been interested in documenting things. The Melbourne-based 22-year-old emerging photographer is a recent graduate from Photography Studies College, where completed the Bachelor of Photography course, with a major in documentary.

“I’m interested by the places and capture the essence of living on the fringes of Australian society.
