Linda Warlond maintains an established presence within the Australian photography industry, with over 20 years of experience in cultural heritage, freelance projects, and charity foundations. Her photographic works have been awarded 2016 AIPP Epson NSW Professional Portrait Photographer of the Year, 2017 AIPP NSW Pet/Animal Photographer of the Year as well as TAFE NSW Hair and Beauty preferred photographer for over twelve years.
With clients such as Powerhouse Museum, Museums of History NSW, TAFE NSW, Ray White Real Estate, Toyota, Ray-Ban and St George Bank, Warlond’s expertise encompasses various photographic standards ranging from commercial studio to museum heritage.
During her time as a Digitisation Officer for the Collection Digitisation Project at Powerhouse Museum, Warlond has been involved in state-of-the-art digital processing, encompassing protocols such as conservation object handling, Digital Heritage, FADGI guidelines and ICIP awareness during the capturing of national treasures such as the Official Records of the Sydney International Exhibition, 1879.
Warlond emphasises her focus on a narrative-orientated representation of museum objects, thus exposing their original intentions, “We don’t hide the imperfections of objects. We want all those details from all angles.” - Linda Warlond, 2025
Warlond’s museum expertise additionally encompasses capturing large complex objects, such as the Carla Zampatti Ford Laser, Bolton Watt Engine, Beechcraft Queenair B80 and Dick Smith helicopter. Such photoshoots require collaboration with logistical teams, as well as curators and conservators for publications such as 1001 Remarkable Objects, 2023, and Eucalyptusdom, 2022, a shared commitment to improving the accessibility and preservation of cultural material.
Warlond’s two biggest passions - animals and photography - coincided during her time as a veterinary nurse, serving as inspiration to co-found and direct Pets in the Park - a national, not-for- profit charity focused on the veterinary health and welfare for companion animals of people experiencing homelessness. Such an endeavour resulted in securing a $10,000 outreaching grant from the City of Sydney and facilitating the provision of over 13,000 varied treatments. As an ode to her photographic career, such an experience compelled Warlond to birth Love is the Colour, 2016, a small pop-up studio project, focusing on photographic sessions to raise awareness of the human-animal bonds shared within the homeless community, those for whom the charity was intended; “The least we can do is ensure they have the healthcare they deserve”. - Linda Warlond, Four&Sons
A current project of Warlond’s, Reimaging Waste, began as the collection of discarded items washed up along the coast, over time becoming a metaphorical exploration of the stories behind unwanted objects, ranging from baby bottles to toilet seats. Representing the playful connections these items create when curated together through photoshoots in her home studio, for Warlond this ongoing project sparks conversations regarding the unconventional alchemy of ‘waste’, ultimately a reimagined perspective of everyday items.
