Description

As part of the 2025 Ballarat Heritage festival, Open House Melbourne presents Heritage Conversations: A life in photos—John Gollings.

As one of Australia’s most influential architectural photographers, John Gollings has changed the way we see the built environment to reveal stories about its character and personality.

From architecture to advertising and back again, John became the ‘go-to guy’ for his architectural contemporaries and has since photographed some of our most iconic buildings. His remarkable body of work offers a visual history of the buildings and places that have shaped the city of Ballarat and many others.

Hear John in conversation with Open House Melbourne's Tania Davidge as he reflects on his life in pictures, from a young boy with a Box Brownie camera to capturing images of architectural marvels of Ballarat and the world beyond.

This event is fully wheelchair accessible. Please contact us at info@ohm.org.au to discuss any accessibility needs.

    Presented by Open House Melbourne in partnership with Heritage Council Victoria and the City of Ballarat.
