THE LANGUAGE OF LIGHT: JACQUELINE MITELMAN

Seven different Australian photographers, each with a significant body of work and each with a different photographic style: JACQUELINE MITELMAN is a portrait photographer who has lived and worked in Melbourne apart from a period living in France. Since studying photography at Prahran College under the tutelage of Athol Smith, Paul Cox & John Cato, she has worked as a freelance photographer focusing primarily on portraiture. A wide range of private commissions has resulted in an extensive collection of portraits of culturally significant Australians, described as “fusing the intensity of the moment with stillness of icons” (Dr Vivien Gaston). Jacqueline was awarded the National Photographic Portrait Prize in 2011. Her works are held in public institutions and private collections in Australia and internationally.
