Carol Jerrems (Australia 1949–80) was born in Melbourne and studied photography at Prahran Technical College under Paul Cox from 1967 to 1970. Although she practiced as an artist for only a decade, Jerrems has acquired a celebrated place in the annals of Australian photography. Her reputation is based on her compassionate, formally striking pictures, her intimate connection with the people involved in social movements of the day, and her role in the promotion of ‘art photography’ in this country.
