About John Gollings

John Gollings holds a Master degree in Architecture from RMIT University and an Honorary Fellowship of the Australian Institute of Architects. He is a photographer specialising in the built environment including the documentation of both ancient and modern cities around the world.

Gollings is considered one of the most interesting of Australia's architectural documenters. His work is characterised by strong formal composition that is complemented by a discerning ability to contextualise a site and broaden the appeal of a project. Gollings brings the technical resources and skills of an extremely experienced photographer to a discipline that often lacks either a point of view or the ability to express it.
