In Rituals & Traditions of Sydney portrait and documentary photographer Danny Huynh captures in vivid colour the unique cultural beliefs and religious customs of three communities in Sydney’s south-west.

Traditional rituals can be important to everybody, but for migrant communities they present opportunities to maintain a sense of identity and build a home away from home. Huynh was given unlimited access to photograph Ramadan, Vietnamese Lunar New Year and Russian Orthodox Easter celebrations in Fairfield, one of Sydney’s most culturally diverse areas. His photographs capture festivals that strengthen community bonds and impart a sense of belonging.
