Recording our Heritage

Chris Bennett has photographed and produced archival recordings for hundreds of heritage listed sites and buildings since originally undertaking a detailed recording of Sydney’s historic Wooloomooloo Wharf in 1996 for Clive Lucas Stapleton & Partners. All work has been presented to the standard required by the NSW Heritage Office and the Tasmanian Heritage Council. Projects have ranged from small dwellings to large sites incorporating multiple large buildings.
