Windows into the Tasmanian soul.
A collection of Tasmanian portraits.
At the southernmost most tip of Australia, endlessly lashed by wild winds and ferocious seas, you’ll find lutruwita (Tasmania). This land of rugged mountain ranges, ancient forests and pristine beaches is home to a vibrant community of adventurous souls. Renowned for their quiet determination, Tasmanians have an extraordinary spirit that is defined by warmth, creativity and innovation.
The Tasmanian Tuxedo is a storytelling journey celebrating true Tasmanian culture – the combined works of a local writer and photographer who together delve into the wild Tasmanian psyche.
The Tasmanian Tuxedo also offers bespoke brand support for likeminded businesses keen to share their own story.
