Discover the Hidden World Through Urban Wildlife Photography

While the World Sleeps is a photographic series by Tony Corry that captures the often unseen presence of animals coexisting within urban spaces. Taken across Australian cities in the quiet hours of the night, the collection reveals intimate moments with possums, birds, and other creatures as they move through streets, rooftops, and alleyways.

Rather than documenting remote wilderness, this series focuses on the untamed life hidden in plain sight. These images offer a new perspective—one that challenges how we define nature and where we expect to find it. With careful attention to light, shadow, and atmosphere, familiar environments are transformed into mysterious landscapes where wildlife moves quietly and purposefully.

The project invites viewers to pause and look again at their surroundings. Through compelling visual storytelling, While the World Sleeps encourages a deeper appreciation for the wildness woven into daily urban life.
