Photographer Joy Mai En Lai has worked in Sydney's leading cultural institutions for more than a decade, including the Library of NSW. Her photographs regularly appear in print, exhibitions and on the facades of prominent public buildings. 

Born in Aotearoa/New Zealand, Joy has also lived in Asia and Australia. Based on Gadigal Country in Sydney, she creates work from her own explorations and commissioned assignments.

Joy discusses the rewards of leaving the comfort of her city apartment for the discoveries she makes – about herself and her environment.
