Shelter: How Australians Live

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Driving down a dirt track one day, photographer, stylist, and adventurer Kara Rosenlund came across a beautiful but dilapidated farmhouse. Its lonely, worn loveliness kindled a passion in Kara to photograph and celebrate Australia's authentic, intriguing rural homes and the people who live in them.

As she travelled the country, documenting raw and real interiors and landscapes, she found shelter under the roofs of beach shacks, grand homesteads, sheep stations, and shipping containers, and in the welcome of strangers.

Shelter: How Australians Live is a visual journey capturing the essence of these unique homes and the lives they shield.
