Angela ”Angie” Maloney

Hi! My name is Angela Maloney, but most people call me Angie and some just call me Ang. I'm a fine art photographic artist, speaker, and a workshop leader. I’m based in Australia where I split my time between Melbourne and Traralgon, a city in the Gippsland region of Victoria. My work is fundamentally about exploring the world, both near and far, and interpreting where I go and what I see.

The name of my website, The Place Changes Me, comes from an Instagram account I created in 2016. At the time, I was living in Southern India. I would chat online quite often. And people would often ask me for photos of India. Since I didn’t want to share my real name, I created an Instagram account to share those images and made the name a description of how I felt—that India would change me, that the change would make me better, and that the change was welcome and wanted.

I started taking photographic art seriously later on, when three of my friends approached me back-to-back-to-back on a single weekend to make the same request: that I write a book of my photography. I haven’t written the book yet, but I expect I will one day.

As of this writing, I and my work have appeared in exhibitions and publication in Australia, North America, and Europe. I currently serve as the coordinator for the Joyce Evans Circle, a women’s photography group located in Melbourne. The Magnet Gallery, also in Melbourne, is a frequent collaborative partner of mine. I am the gallery coordinator for the Arc Yinnar, located in Yinnar, Victoria. And I have previously served as the North America ambassador coordinator of Nature First, a global nonprofit that advocated for responsible nature photography practices.

At this time, I am interested in commissions, exhibitions, print sales, and speaking or teaching opportunities in Australia. .

I have lived enough places that where I’m from is extremely hard to answer. I’m from everywhere and nowhere. But my true home, the place where my heart is, is Victoria, Australia.

You can see my work on Instagram, Facebook, or here on my website at www.theplacechangesme.com. If you’d like to inquire about commissioning work from me, having me participate in an exhibition, or serve as a speaker or instructor, please contact me. I usually respond within 24 hours or less as long as I am in one of my towns. .
