Praise for Northside:

‘In a way, the book isn’t just a tribute to the past — it’s also a reminder to keep looking for snippets of the past in the present. None of the images feel dated — they could been taken 10 years ago or just yesterday. Yes, the north has changed, but so much of what it once was is still there, hiding in plain sight. Northside is a call to keep the beauty of it alive.’

Beyond Suburbia

Overview

In the margins between the city and the bush, Warren Kirk uncovers the quiet poetry of Victoria’s hinterlands, with an introduction by Don Watson.

These richly textured photographs capture the overlooked buildings, people, and landscapes of rural and semi-rural Australia. Meticulously observed and rendered with enormous sensitivity, this collection is more than a photographic journey — it’s an elegiac meditation on place, people, and memory. Kirk continues his remarkable project of preserving vanishing Australian scenes, inviting viewers to witness the extraordinary within the seemingly mundane.

Praise

Praise for Suburbia:

‘Part archivist, part archaeologist, Kirk is motivated by a desire to bring hidden beauty to the fore and, in doing so, stop it from being lost forever.’

ABC

Praise for Suburbia:

‘From the dingy Chinese takeaway, the quirkily clipped hedges and formica tables, to the cluttered speciality stores and faded weatherboard, Kirk’s photographs are so vivid you can practically smell the fried food, lawn clippings, and motel-room mustiness wafting off the page.’
