For more than three decades, Wayne Quilliam, a skilled photographer and Associate Professor and co-founder of Yarnology, has dedicated himself to delving into the intricacies of Indigenous communities.

Through a blend of photojournalism, artistic innovation, and videography, he captures stunning portraits and landscapes to reflect true stories and mythical representations of culture and identity.

For Wayne, the “essence of how a photographer embeds their personal ethos into ethnographic photography” has been a driving force behind his storytelling for over 30 years.

He has been the recipient of several esteemed awards; including the NAIDOC Indigenous Artist of the Year, the Walkley Award for photojournalism and Bowness Art Award.
