Theatre of Life is a collection of portraits by Australian artist and photographer Alex Frayne. The images represent a diverse array of characters captured in both formal and street settings, with an emphasis on the latter. Frayne provides detailed contextual analyses for each work as he tests the limits of the popular medium of photography. The book celebrates the resurgence of the 'Zeitgeist art-form' of our smartphone obsessed era. Humans love to see photographic likenesses of each other! But people also crave permanency and a physical record. Theatre of Life is a marriage of subject and camera, of ink and paper. It is Alex Frayne's second book.
