BIOGRAPHY
Liz Sunshine is an Australian artist, documentary fashion and portrait photographer based in Melbourne. She is widely regarded as the first and most well-known photographer in Australia to capture street style both at fashion events and organically on the streets. Over the past decade, Liz’s commercial photography career has seen her continue to work with an outstanding client list, with work regularly featured in Vogue Australia.
Liz’s documentary photography acts as a form of cultural record-keeping. Her art is a form of soft activism that promotes awareness for textile waste and encourages change from a place of curiosity and conversation.
