Congratulations to MAPgroup photographer Nicole Marie for being a finalist in the Documentary category of the Australian Photography Awards.
This portrait is part of a series Nicole is currently working on highlighting the underrepresented roles and contributions of women to the modern wool industry in Australia. The portraits are of female shearers, wool handlers, wool classers, breeders and shearer’s cooks, past and present. This is Leearna Cook, a shearer from Baddaginnie, Victoria.
