Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ivan Sen shot this in Coober Pedy, the real opal mining town where his mother was born—he's been documenting Indigenous stories in this landscape for decades.
The black-and-white wasn't budget constraint; Sen chose it to strip away the 'postcard Australia' colors and force viewers to confront the violence beneath the beauty.
