In researching this series of works, Sydney photojournalist James Brickwood accompanied two groups of teenagers on the annual end-of-high-school pilgrimage to the Gold Coast known as Schoolies week. With great sensitivity and without judgement, he documents the filthy hotel rooms, beachfront trysts, and beer-sculling competitions that are the rites of passage young people undergo on their way to adulthood.

James Brickwood is a member of the Australian documentary collective Oculi. He has worked for Fairfax Media since 2003 as well as for leading international publications. He is now a staff Photographer for the Sun Herald.
