She Shoots Film - issue #3

'She Shoots Film...
a print publication exploring life through the female gaze.'

she shoots film metamorphosis issue #3.jpg

She Shoots film is an independently published magazine that features film photography by women. The magazine is based in my hometown of Melbourne, Australia, is printed on beautiful paper stock in Berlin, Germany & is sold all over the world. 

'She Shoots Film is a global group of women that use She Shoots Film as a platform to encourage, support and draw attention to emerging and seasoned film photographers that make with a woman's eye.'

'Metamorphosis' is the theme of issue N˚3 & will feature the work of 14 women photographers from around the world... no digital, just beautiful & thoughtful analogue images. 

Issue N˚3 launches in December & I'm humbled that some of my photographs have been selected. If you pre-order a copy (& some for gifts :) you'll support She Shoots Film fund their project campaign so Issue #3 can go to print. The magazine is run by a very small team of creative women who rely on the support of readers who love film photography & the arts as much as they do. 

When you order a copy of Metamorphosis, for yourself or a loved one, it will ship directly from the amazing printers in Berlin straight to your doorstep. And by pre-ordering a copy you'll be helping 14 women photographers get their images out in the universe. 

Pre-ordering campaign ends Sept 17

A recent installation at
White St Healing Arts in Key West

These three images are part of a working series on Fort Zachary Taylor State Park.

Fort Zach is a favourite place of mine... the Australian pines (casuarina / she-oak) remind me so much of my home country & many childhood coastal road trips.

The exhibition will be held at the The Studios of Key West - date to be announced.

This town continually shows its support for the arts & artists in more ways than I've ever experienced before. For a 2x4 sq mile island it is a powerhouse of generosity when it comes to celebrating the creative. It's a joy to be living back here among the thriving creative community that is Key West.
