Voninski has concentrated on quirky, off-beat documentary photographic essays from around the world for the past 20 years. Since basing herself in Sydney in 1998, her book length documentary projects have focused on dream-like black and white street photography in Australia and a series of photographic stories depicting the spirit of the people of Polynesia and their diverse culture. Her award winning photographs have been exhibited widely throughout Australia and overseas since 1991. Voninski is one of the founding members of Oculi.
Her photographic essays have won several international awards including: the inaugural Alexia Foundation Photography for World Peace Award, William Randolph Hearst Photojournalism 1991, International Pictures of the Year Awards, 2003, 2001, 1996, 1993, Best of Photojournalism, 2005, and an artist residency at Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris from the Art Gallery of New South Wales, 2005-06.
