Donna Bailey (b. 1963, Australia) lives on a semi-rural property in central Victoria. She took up photography in the late 1990s while studying at La Trobe University in Bendigo. From the outset, Bailey’s children have been her primary subject and she has continued to document their lives as they’ve matured and started their own families. Bailey often accentuates her embedded perspective on family life by using a hand-held flash and an oversaturation of colour to affect a snapshot aesthetic. Bailey is a member of the documentary photography collective, Oculi.
