Bring your community together

through the power of story

Immersive photo and video projects | Regional Western Australia

Capture the heart of your community through locally told photo stories, showcasing the real, often unseen side of Australian life. This project celebrates community pride, builds lasting connections, and strengthens storytelling skills while uncovering the creativity that thrives in regional Western Australia.

Justine Rowe from Mullewa describes how photography helps her see the beauty around her.

I’m a former press photographer for the West Australian Newspaper and a lifetime sticky beak.

 

I’m passionate about visually narrating stories and have developed a versatile approach that helps me capture the authentic nature of people from all walks of life.

 

To me, photography is much more than just snapping moments—it’s about creating connections, sparking real conversations, and leaving something meaningful behind

Services Overview

Photography

I offer authentic visual storytelling and create images that deeply resonate with audiences. With a background in press photography, I excel at working under tight deadlines. With over 20 years of experience spanning news, corporate, community and government sectors, I bring realness and emotional depth to every project.

Workshop

By empowering people from all backgrounds to share their stories, I help build confidence, develop skills, and strengthen their sense of belonging. Look at your backyard in a new light. Discover the power of capturing simple moments. The content created stands out for its genuine quality, and my workshop is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all.

Community Storytelling

Sharing relatable, everyday moments can bring joy and strengthen connections with those around you. This inclusive multimedia storytelling experience empowers you to tell your story, celebrate the beauty of the ordinary, and foster a deeper sense of belonging within your community. Celebrate collective stories through a screening and exhibition that showcases the strength, pride, and beauty found in your backyard.

“Astrid brought our community together and worked with such sensitivity and delicacy that each person felt seen and heard by her efforts. Speaking with others who viewed the screening of Our Photo Stories, they remarked that they feel closer as a community from having been invited inside the lives of their neighbours.”
