Rituals & Traditions of Sydney

Portrait and documentary photographer Danny Huynh captured the unique cultural beliefs and religious customs of three communities in Sydney’s south-west.

Huynh was given unlimited access to photograph Ramadan, Vietnamese Lunar New Year and Russian Orthodox Easter celebrations in Fairfield, one of Sydney’s most culturally diverse areas. His vivid colour photographs capture festivals that strengthen community bonds and impart a sense of belonging.

Traditional rituals can be important to everybody, but for migrant communities they present opportunities to maintain a sense of identity and build a home away from home.
