John Gollings (born 1944 in Melbourne), is an Australian architectural photographer.[1] He is known for his technique of architectural photography at night using partial artificial light over a period of time.[2]

Early life

Gollings holds a master's degree in Architecture from RMIT University.

Career

Gollings works in the Asia Pacific region as an architectural photographer. Much of his work involves long-term cultural projects especially in India, Cambodia, China, Libya and New Guinea. He specialises in the documentation of cities, often from the air. He has a particular interest in the cyclic fires and floods that characterise the Australian landscape, which he documents with aerial photography.

His books include two volumes of New Australia Style, T&H; City of Victory, Aperture and Kashgar, Oasis city on the Silk Road, and Frances Lincoln in addition to many catalogues and monographs on architecture. Thames and Hudson released a monograph called Beautiful Ugly of his contemporary architectural work.

His work is exhibited by the Asia Society in New York, the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Monash Gallery of Art, the State Library of Queensland, the Janet Holmes à Court collection, the Gold Coast Gallery and the National Library of Australia, and has been the subject of special exhibitions at the Australian Centre for Photography, the Gold Coast Gallery, the Immigration Museum, the Monash Gallery of Art, the McClelland Gallery and the National Gallery of Australia.

With Ivan Rijavek, Gollings was the co-creative director emeritus of the Australian Pavilion at the 2010 edition of the Venice Biennale of Architecture. The exhibition was titled Now and When and compared the existing state of Australian cities, and their counterpoint in the mining holes of the west, to the possibility of a radically different, paradigmatic city of the future. The images were either photographed from a helicopter in 3D or rendered in 3D using CGI. The project traveled Australia and Asia under the auspices of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade until 2013.

Honours

Gollings received a Visual Arts Board Grant from the Australia Council, has twice been awarded the Presidents Award by the Australian Institute of Architecture and has received many advertising and graphic design awards from Australian, New York and Chicago Art Directors' groups. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Australian Institute of Architects.

In 2016 he was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for "significant service to photography through the documentation of iconic architectural landmarks in Australia and the Asia Pacific region".[3]
