Georgie Algeri

Georgie Algeri is a Photomedia and Marketing major whose work explores the relationship between storytelling, design, and the natural world. He captures the balance between stillness and motion, using light, texture, and atmosphere to create rhythm and emotion in each image. His approach is guided by curiosity, observation, and patience, allowing him to photograph both natural and human environments with intention.

Throughout his degree, Georgie has developed strong technical skills in both studio and natural lighting. He works across portraiture, product, and business photography, and has created freelance content for Thermotek Windows and Doors, Mornington Green, and Beach Yoga Hampton, including photography and video for branding, social media, and promotional campaigns. These projects have strengthened his ability to communicate visually and turn creative ideas into practical, engaging content.

His capstone project, Untouched Currents, explores the movement and energy of Australia’s coastlines, bushland, and wildlife. Shot across Victoria, the series examines how stillness and flow reveal time, transformation, and the subtle patterns of nature.

Looking ahead, Georgie hopes to continue combining his skills in marketing and photomedia to pursue opportunities in tourism and nature photography. He is motivated by a love for travel, discovery, and creating imagery that captures the beauty and emotion of the environments he experiences.

Acknowledgement of Country

The School of Design and Architecture respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners and knowledge-keepers of the lands, waters and sky that surround us, where we work, learn, create, communicate and make place. We recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded and this always was and will always be Wurundjeri Country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who continue to make a better world through design.

We extend our acknowledgement to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, students, alumni, real-life clients, and knowledge keepers, who have contributed to our own education diversity and growth. We will continue to ensure that staff and students respectfully honour ancestral connection to Country and Place in everything that they do.

We are dedicated to the notion of design to make a better world and we acknowledge that making tools, shaping place, sharing stories, making meaning, wayfinding and collaborating have long been and continue to be both central and integral to First Peoples' cultures. We recognize that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ cultural contributions have continued relevance to design practice and commit to: reconciling ancestries of design and contemporary practice as well as pursuing culturally and professionally appropriate ways to engage with a diverse population of colleagues, industries and clients. In a time of treaty-making and voice we understand that there are overlaps between caring for Country and the sustainable production of goods, services, experiences, products and buildings.

Guided by the principles of respect, reconciliation, and reciprocity we undertake to indigenising and decolonising design practice by dismantling colonial structures and challenging biases that have marginalised Indigenous voices and design.

As students of SoDA you will be given opportunities to both engage with and educate yourself in Indigenous creative practices and cultural protocols through a lens of inclusivity, diversity, respect, mutual understanding, inter-cultural dialogue in all aspects of design practice. Indigenous people have been telling stories, making tools, and connecting to Country through visual media, placemaking and place marking for more than 60,000 years and these practices are part of an ongoing, evolving and live tradition.
