A spur of the moment portrait project photographed in a tiny dressing room deep in the Arts Centre Melbourne at Ali McGregor’s Late Night Nighty Night Variety Show as part of the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Every performer who was on the stage in this season was included in the book with each session taking less than five minutes to capture.

A limited edition of 50 books were printed and sold via crowdfunding to fund this project.

The book and images will reside in The Australian Performing Arts Collection.

The portrait of Reuben Kaye received the 2024 Nyland Prize (which is quite a fancy award)
