Interview with Brad Rimmer - Artistic Photographer

Brad Rimmer is an Australian photographer born and raised in the Western Australian Central Wheatbelt, and now based in Fremantle/Walyalup. His work is a visual exploration of the cultural and psychological landscapes of Western Australia and beyond, probing the fragile connections between memory, time, and identity that bind us to place.
