ANS Westra: A Life in Photography

In a career that spanned six decades, the Dutch-Kiwi photographer Ans Westra (1936- 2023) made it her life's work to capture the growth of a nation through hundreds of thousands of images. Her photographic catalogue is now widely thought of as a photo album of Aotearoa New Zealand. This richly illustrated biography interrogates her remarkable -- and at times controversial -- practice, and a life that always put photography first.
