OLIVE COTTON

OLIVE COTTON'S PRACTISE

At age 11, Cotton was given her first camera; her love of photography grew. Cotton graduated from the university of Sydney and began working in the studio of Australian photographer Max Dupain, who she later married then divorced after two years. Olive Cotton spent this time developing her own work including many portraits; Cotton’s key feature was the element of light. Cottons work was inspired by various female photographers she came across whilst working under Dupain.
