Warren Kirk's new book explores the nostalgia of suburban Australia

Comments Comments

Photographer Warren Kirk has released a new book, Suburbia, that continues his love affair with the nostalgia of suburban Australia.

Warren Kirk's photos will strike a chord with anyone who's grown up in the Australian suburbs in the past 50 years. Somehow both achingly familiar and unimaginably strange, the images continue his 30-year project that began with the acclaimed Westography, and documents a way of life that is slowly disappearing, along with the people who lived it.

Taken with loving attention and considerable skill, and with the utmost respect for the people and places that appear in them, Kirk's photos of shops and houses, of gardens and lounge-rooms, of people surrounded by the things they love, are evocative and nostalgic. The Flickr account of Kirk's work has had over nine million views.

Warren Kirk's new book is available now. More information at Scribe publications.
