Ben Campbell, Sydney Serenity (PLACES 2026)

A young lady reads quietly on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. As I was photographing the Opera House I stumbled upon this lady reading on the steps. I thought this is not a sight you see everyday, so I made my way down to see if I could get a good angle of her with the Opera House in the background. A beautiful quiet moment in a hectic world.
