Recently I had the wonderful opportunity to meet and photograph Tarisse and Sarrita King. They are both the rising stars of Indigenous Australian art and are highly regarded by the Aboriginal art community. Tarisse captures a complex and varied soul of the land and is very much influenced by her also notable artist father William King.
Sarrita's inspiration is the amazing environment she grew up within the Northern Territory, from the big rains to the lightning storms and the constantly changing earth.
The pair work from their fathers studio in Adelaide and it was great to be able to photograph them in front of their art works. In fact by chance after the shoot as they left in the elevator they happened to sell one of the paintings to one of the other business owners in the building.
