'A little bit Bogan' by Jay Cronan

A definition of a Bogan is a person who is, or is perceived to be, unsophisticated or belonging to a low socio-economic demographic. My work attempts to investigate the inner qualities of being a Bogan and how Boganism is prevalent covering a wide range of the Australian demographic.

Often a term used in derogatory manner by those who are of an elitist mentality, I set out to capture the endearing behaviours of Bogans in their natural environment. I have attempted to break down the viewer's own preconceived opinions of what a Bogan is, so they are able to learn to love and embrace their own inner Bogan qualities in the hope that they will occasionally be able to set it free.
