About Me Agi Davis – Photographer, Storyteller, Visual Explorer
I grew up in one of Poland’s most vibrant and beautiful cities — Wrocław — yet my heart has always been deeply rooted in the countryside.
As a child, I described myself as “someone who lives between two worlds.” Every summer, I’d escape the city to spend time on my grandparents’ farm. One of the most memorable times of year was when the crops were ready for harvest. Even as kids, we helped out in the fields. I vividly remember when several families — uncles, aunts, cousins — would gather to work together. Adults and children spread across the land, raking and bundling cut grass into great mounds to feed the animals through the cold Polish winters. I still recall the laughter, the earthy colours of summer, and the strong sense of togetherness.
After completing a Master’s Degree in Art and Cultural Studies, I left Poland to travel through India — a journey that deeply inspired me. I later migrated to Australia, where I found a new home and community. Not long after arriving, I was honoured to win the Lord Mayor’s Photographic Awards, which became a turning point in my life and career. From that moment on, I began pursuing photography professionally. For over 17 years, I’ve worked with Australian families, businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organisations.
Whenever I travel to remote parts of Australia, meeting farmers and listening to their stories, my passion is reignited. I’m drawn to the land, the resilience of rural communities, and the profound human connections that emerge in these isolated places.
My work has been exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, and the Museum of Brisbane and published in Australian Traveller, Grazier Magazine, and other publications. In 2019, I held a solo exhibition at Woolloongabba Substation: Helping Mothers Care for Kids with Disabilities in India.
To me, photography is more than capturing a moment — it’s a way of seeing, feeling, and preserving stories. I’m deeply honoured to photograph people and the worlds they live in.
