Poppy Steer

(they/them)

Poppy Steer is an Australian-born trans documentary photographer. After several years in South Korea and North America, they are now based in Naarm (Melbourne), pursuing editorial projects, documentary storytelling, and assisting opportunities.

They studied at Vancouver Art School and are currently enrolled at RMIT. Their work has been featured in Booooooom and shaped through an intensive workshop with the New York Times Opinion Photography Director.

Poppy’s practice often reflects on identity, community, and place. In their ongoing series Farsickness, they document rural America, exploring the distance between its cinematic image in film and literature and the reality found on the road.
