Acclaim Magazine have challenged three Australian photographers to present their visual interpretation of the 'wetropolis' theme. Photographers Genevieve Walsh, Jack Shelton and Jarrad Seng sprinkled their own seasoning on the theme.

Shelton jetted out to LA to document the drought-stricken southland in a rare moment of moisture, bouncing neon off raindrops and catching a rare glimpse of the 6th Street Bridge mid-demolition. Jarrad Seng explored a west coast more familiar to locals (ie Perth), and Genevieve Walsh juxtaposed cityscapes with poolside loungin'.
