Renee Doropoulos was born in Boorloo | Perth, Western Australia and is a Boorloo | Perth based photographic artist. She completed a Bachelor of Arts (Photomedia) in 2006 at Edith Cowan University.

Doropoulos’s practice is grounded in the experience of inherited displacement. As a woman born in Australia to Greek migrant heritage, she explores the complexities of growing up between cultures — the tension between migrant assimilation and cultural preservation, belonging and otherness, visibility and erasure. Her work is also driven by a desire to preserve a connection to her heritage, using photography as a means to maintain and honor familial and cultural memory.

Doropoulos works across analogue and digital photography to explore how identity is shaped by inherited memory and the emotional landscape of migration. Central to her practice is the intersection between migration and the colonial destruction of the natural landscape, tracing how personal histories of movement and dislocation entwine with broader narratives of place, belonging, and loss. Her work often draws on archival material, portraiture, and intimate imagery to create contemplative spaces where memory and presence converge.

Doropoulos has exhibited widely across Western Australia, with group shows at the Perth Centre for Photography, PS Art Space, Mundaring Arts Centre, Moores Building and Fotofreo. Her work has also featured in Terra Firma Magazine Issue No. 3 here
