About Me
I am a documentary photographer, Lecturer in Photography and PhD candidate.
I document lives – mine, my family, people of all walks of life, yours. I capture pieces of it, I try and find the core of the everyday. I’ve been doing this since early high school when I fell in love with film photography and used to squirrel away in the darkroom under the stairs and watch the silver halides dance. After exhibiting here and overseas and having work in print, I started to tell the stories of families and weddings whilst simultaneously exploring my own research about how we take, curate, collect and interpret family photographs.
My main current research and social documentary work is a project highlighting the everyday lived experience in aged care as part of my Masters. Now, as part of my PhD I’m looking at the relationship older people have with the photographic object, situating myself within several aged care facilities to see, hear and document their stories. I am also the current State Library of Queensland Placemaking Fellow 2019-2020.
And, since every story has a narrator, and so I always sneak a shot of the shooter.
Here are a few.

Lauren Abdy - Hi there,
Could you please send me a quote for you to photograph my wedding, to be held in Brisbane March 19 next year.
I would ideally like photographs captured from time of dressing, to the reception with people dancing etc to capture the more relaxed and informal part of the night.
I love your work on your website and look forward to hearing from you!
Kind Regards,
Lauren Abdy.
Lyn Sanderson - Hi Tricia, a voice from your past…. Just looking through my emails and came across your email re your website. It has changed, looks great, good to see your name in your new site label, love your logo 🙂
I thought I would share my art facebook page with you, I have only had it up and running for a short while. I have become very active with my artwork in the last 12 months and will try to keep the site updated.
Love your work, I hope you are enjoying being away from QUT (joke, of course you are) really miss having you at OR, but can’t imagine why you would come back.
Cheers
Lyn
