Celebrating rockabilly at the Museum of Sydney

Swell kittens! Some of my friends are the subjects in this photo documentary exhibition at the Museum of Sydney "Rockabilly - Living in the Fifties"

Photographer Steven Siewert has spent years documenting Sydney's rockabillies, a vibrant subculture who live and breathe an era that predates their earliest birthdays. The boys dress for cool with stovepipe jeans and slick quiffs, while the women wear dazzling cocktail frocks by night and colourful vintage dresses by day.

Steven Siewert's work straddles documentary and press photography. He combines professional work as a Sydney Morning Herald photojournalist with personal projects such as this.
