Ans Westra: A Life in Photography

The photographer Ans Westra, who died in 2023, took hundreds of thousands of
images over her long career. Together, those images constitute what is arguably a
photo album of Aotearoa.
Her dedication and determination sometimes came at a cost but she was focused
and driven, overcoming a difficult childhood in the Netherlands and later complex
adult relationships to forge her own path.
Warm, engaging and sympathetic, this richly illustrated biography interrogates
her remarkable – and at times controversial – practice and a life that always put
photography first.
