Canon - This Is Australia

‘This Is Australia’: a new stock photography collection reflecting diversity photography collection reflects diversity in pictures. It was a conjunction work between Canon and Getty Images

The challenge 

To address a lack of stock photography that accurately reflects the diversity of Australia’s population, Getty Images has partnered with Canon Australia to launch This Is Australia – a collection of more than 5,000 images aimed at redefining who Australians are today.

My role

As the sole product designer responsible for this project, I both led it and corresponded with Canon and Getty Images. I produced sketches, wireframes, and mockups. I delivered final assets, supervised the development, verified the live product, and iterated again for multiple rounds.

This project was managed across Canon and Getty Images. I conducted interviews with representatives from both companies
