This is my little sister, Hannah Collard, who I began photographing from a very young age, helping to give her the push into modelling. These photos were taken on Cable Beach in Broome.
The photo in the dunes below were part of a feature article I wrote for The Broome Advertiser on her being signed to Chadwick’s Modelling Agency.
Hannah has done quite a lot with her modelling career since, and is now mentoring other young Indigenous Australian models to pursue their careers in modelling.
Portrait of an Artist : BRUCE WIGGAN
Portrait of an artist, Bruce Wiggan, Broome 2011.
Whilst walking around town on a lunch break I saw this lovely man leaning against the balcony by the shops.
I stopped and asked to take his portrait, and asked his name, not knowing who he was, and he told me a little bit about himself. He is an artist and was affiliated with the Short St Gallery.
I later discovered more information about him and found that he is a senior Bardi man from the coastal Kimberley community of One Arm Point. Brice Wiggan is a renowned carver, carving beautiful aboriginal art into pearl shells and has works in many collections including the collection of Mr Kerry Stokes.
