EP133 Harriet Tarbuck | Co-Founder & Creative Director of Photo Collective

Photographer and Photo Collective co-founder Harriet Tarbuck joins The Camera Life to unpack her path from commercial jobs to deeply personal documentary work. She shares how Australian Photography Awards grew into a home for ambitious projects, why she loves 50mm lenses and Nikon’s retro bodies, and how parenting feeds her long-term family series. Expect real talk on time management, writing project statements, printing imperfect images, and building a creative community in Australia.
