For the past 50 years he has been synthesising his parallel interests in photography and architecture to explore the cultural construction of social spaces. From sacred rock art sites and ancient temples to suburban dream homes and the monuments of corporate architecture, Gollings’s catalogue of images provides a remarkable visual history of human habitats. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.maph.org.au\/products\/gollings-a-history-of-the-built-world-signed?_pos=2\u0026amp;_psq=gollings\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe history of the built world\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e was the first major survey of Gollings photographic practice and was exhibited at MAPh in 2018 before touring across Australia and to India. It offered a much anticipated opportunity to appreciate the full breadth of his unique photographic vision.

He later studied architecture at the University of Melbourne and completed a Masters in Architecture at RMIT. He worked as a freelance advertising photographer, specialising in fashion and, as his contemporaries in architecture developed their practices, he increasingly focused on architectural photography for which he is now well-known. He has subsequently lectured on architecture and photography. He has recently spent more time on longer term projects with academic or cultural significance for books, exhibitions and fine prints, including the documentation of dead cities in countries such as India, Cambodia and Libya.
