Northside:
A Time and Place
Overview
From the photographer behind Westography and Suburbia, with an introduction by Christos Tsiolkas.
From West Brunswick to Reservoir, Fitzroy to Hadfield, Warren Kirk turns his keen eye upon the streets, buildings, and inhabitants of Melbourne’s northern suburbs, which are as iconic as they are rapidly changing. Both a tribute to the things we remember and a reminder to look anew at the world around us, the photos in Northside are a triumph of craft from an artist who invites us to really see.

Praise
“Warren Kirk’s photographs are at once evocative yet mysterious. The Melbourne photographer doesn't provide any detail about his subjects, except the name of the suburb in which they were shot. He's happy to let the images do the storytelling.”
“In a way, the book isn’t just a tribute to the past—it’s also a reminder to keep looking for snippets of the past in the present. None of the images feel dated—they could been taken 10 years ago or just yesterday. Yes, the north has changed, but so much of what it once was is still there, hiding in plain sight. Northside is a call to keep the beauty of it alive.”
