Yagan Square

Stand in the heart of Perth City and watch kelpies leap over the city skyline and shearers gaze at passers-by. Evocative photo stories by photographer Astrid Volzke. Shearing, shed life, a kelpie muster, and a stud ram breeder projected on the Yagan Digital Tower right in the city center plus stunning images from the rural communities of Broome and Hopetoun. ‘From The Locals’ is an exhibition of images from some of Astrid’s workshop participants. Local stories, photographed by the locals themselves. An outstanding outcome from Our PhotoStories Community project last year.

Some “I’m a former press photographer for the West Australian and a life time 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.
