Melbourne: Skylines of a City
The city from above
From balloonists and biplanes to drones and skyscrapers. Skylines captures Melbourne from rarely seen angles.
This edition tells a story of altitude, how looking down can sometimes reveal more about how far we’ve come.
“They met in the lobby of the hotel well before dawn… seven strangers brought together by coincidence, or fate, to watch Melbourne wake beneath them.”
Blending the poetic with the photographic, Skylines captures you with stories about grief, connection, and perspective. A fitting metaphor for a city that’s always rising.
Origins: Melbourne – Skylines of a City
Look, up in the sky
In Origins: Melbourne – Skylines of a City, we look up from the horizon. From above, Melbourne reveals its patterns. The geometry of the Hoddle Grid, the curve of the Yarra, the suburbs that stretch and sprawl.
Partnering with aerial photographer Nicole Hicks, we paired historical aerials with modern day drone imagery to show how the city has climbed skyward. From church spires to glass towers.
It’s Melbourne as seen from its Skylines
