Annette Wilson (b. 1992) is an Australian-Swedish photographer and multidisciplinary creative based in Berlin, working across the Nordics, the DACH region, and on select international projects. Over the past 16 years, her curiosity-driven practice has led to commissions in over 40 countries across six continents.
Having lived in Australia, Germany, Austria, the United States, Ireland, and Sweden, her perspective is shaped by sustained immersion in diverse cultural contexts.
Raised in sunny Sydney alongside five wild siblings by a New Zealand Māori father and a Swedish mother, Annette grew up in a culturally layered, curious household. That early exposure to difference, movement, and dialogue continues to inform her practice- grounding it in empathy, cultural fluency, and a deep sensitivity to place.
She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Mixed Media and Installation Art from the University of New South Wales, with further studies in interior design, ceramics, creative writing, music, languages, and art history. This foundation, paired with her global experience, allows her to weave multiple disciplines and human insight into her photography- offering a voice that is both nuanced and unmistakably her own.
Selected exhibitions include Festival Nomadica (Viterbo, Italy); the International Women’s Day Digital Exhibition at Der Divan – Das Arabische Kulturhaus (Berlin); Studio Galerie Kong (Berlin); the Art Gallery of New South Wales (Sydney); the National Portrait Gallery (Canberra); and the Powerhouse Museum (Sydney).
In 2019, she wrote and self-published 27, a multidisciplinary artist book integrating poetry, photography, collage, and textile-based mixed media.
Her work has been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine (NYC), Art Reveal Magazine (Helsinki), and Alphabet Family Journal (Sydney). Alongside her independent practice, she works as an exclusive contributor to Getty Images.
At the centre of her work is genuine, restless curiosity- guiding how she sees, works, and tells stories that feel both honest and very much alive.
