Along the South Island's rugged West Coast live a community of people whose self-sufficent way of life is being captured on film before it passes into history.
Julia Johnston knows them and that stretch of road very well - they're her childhood neighbours and she's recently moved back there to live after graduating from the Ilam School of Fine Arts.
Julia's been working on the Coast Roaders project, involving photographs and interviews with her subjects, since 2016. She'll be talking about it at the upcoming Photobook New Zealand event in Wellington.
