The Sunshine School
When they looked back across the vast, dark gulf of the Great War to recall the years before, those glorious long light-filled days seemed a Belle Epoque indeed. And of all the possessions of the pre-war realm, Sydney was the jewel. So why were all the photographs so grim? Well, dramatic shadows were the vogue, and pictorial photographers shot to taste. That was until Harold Cazneaux and his coterie resolved to let some sunshine in. From then on, Sydney was cast in a new light.
