Photography Books – Australia in Focus
“Photography is not about the camera — it’s about how you see.” — Nick Raines
Featured in our library are Australian travel photographer Nick Raines’ breathtaking travel books and the In Photos city and state series showcasing the beauty of our surroundings, from the laneways of Melbourne to the vast skies of the Outback.
Raines captures the heart of communities through his book Heart of Australia: A Celebration of Our Communities – portraits of everyday life across the nation.
