Simon LISTER

Simon Lister grew up on a New Zealand farm, heavily influenced by a father who loved music, motorbikes and photography. All three elements have inspired him since, in his roles as the owner of Nylon Studios and a renowned photographer who travels the likes of India and Bolivia by motorbike, documenting the hope and hardship he finds on the way. Based now in Sydney, he continues to venture into some of the hardest environments on Earth in pursuit of his art. We spoke with Simon about creative life in Sydney and the inspiring human spirit he has met in some of the world's harshest places.
