Summary of project:
“Through 16 contemporary engaging portraits of cannabis users, Sydney-based advertising and editorial photographer Simon Bernhardt is attempting to dispel stereotypes, while sparking serious debate about whether cannabis is really a gateway drug, and its possible future legalisation, for medical and recreational purposes in Australia. The limited edition book release also aims to minimise emotion from the sensitive subject of illegal drug use while providing insight into the individual’s cannabis use through text.”
Simon Bernhardt
