School (2017)

School (2017) is the accumulation of over 500 images made during Benji’s time as a student at Scots College. In 2019 this series was exhibited as an online exhibition on PhotoForum, accompanied with an essay written by Max Oettli. The selected images exhibited in this first iteration of publishing were chosen to emphasise the notion of Scots as a boys’ school (especially considering it is becoming co-educational in 2020).
