I was interviewed the other day for the tv program Studio Ten by Sarah Harris and the legendary Ita Buttrose about my prize-winning of image “Family Loss”. I shared the couch with Kirrilee’s mom Jo Edwards and we spoke about the experience.
I was thrilled last night to learn that I had won the grand prize for the 2014 Head On Portrait Prize...The image came from a story that I shot for Good Weekend Magazine about the children's hospice organization Bear Cottage and some of the families who rely on their resources and care. This image in particular came as a result of a wonderful experience meeting the family of Kirrilee Edwards. I felt really welcomed to be with them, to feel their warmth, their sense of humor and love.
