About

Dianna Snape is an Australian photographer renowned for her compelling vision of architecture, interiors, and landscapes. With more than 25 years of experience photographing projects for leading architecture and design studios, her work sits at the intersection of design intelligence and visual storytelling.

A graduate of RMIT University’s prestigious Bachelor of Arts (Photography) (Honours) program, Dianna brings a deep conceptual understanding to every commission. Driven by a lifelong fascination with both the built and natural environments, she travels extensively in pursuit of meaningful, well-considered design, capturing spaces not just as they appear, but as they are lived, felt, and remembered.

Her images are regularly published in leading national and international design publications, valued for their clarity, atmosphere, and sensitivity to architectural intent.

In 2024, Dianna released her first book, Architecture at the Heart of the Home, published by Thames & Hudson in collaboration with writer Jan Henderson. The book features 22 thoughtfully designed homes across all six Australian states, showcasing work by some of the country’s most respected established practices alongside emerging architectural voices. The publication reflects Dianna’s ability to distil complex design narratives into cohesive, emotionally resonant visual stories.

Beyond her photographic practice, Dianna is a passionate advocate for the professional and creative advancement of the industry. She is a Founding Committee Member of Image Makers Association Australia, serving as President from May 2022 to August 2024. During this time, she led the association’s formative growth — expanding membership from 50 to over 170, establishing governance frameworks, and forging key industry partnerships. She continues to volunteer her time in support of the association’s long-term stability and evolution.

Dianna is deeply committed to education and mentorship. She serves on RMIT University’s Industry Advisory Committee for Vocational Education Photography Programs and has been invited to judge Australasia’s Top Emerging Photographers (Capture Magazine) in 2023, 2024, and 2025, as well as the 2024 Head On Photo Awards.

In recognition of her contribution to architectural photography, Dianna was named one of the “100 Most Inspiring Architectural Photographers” by LOOP Design Awards in 2022.
