Skye Lizzie Photography
 
Hello.
I am a self-taught documentary photographer working on Wadawurrung land (Geelong) Australia. My work explores themes of familial life and attachment through film and digital photography. Intrigued by the connection with people around me, particularly my own children, I love chronicling the varied stages of kinship.
I was born in country Victoria, and throughout schooling always felt the pull towards the creative arts. I often think back to these teen years (my younger sister as my first muse and model) and remember the drive to create moments of beauty. By the water tank and amongst the fruit trees in the warm Mallee evenings. It’s because of photography we remember all the little details and how we felt at the time.
Currently, I am working on an evolving series titled ‘After Naps’, exploring the importance of friendships formed between mothers. A relationship primed for longevity, one of solidarity and understanding. One not often documented. For more information on being a part of this series, please be in touch.
I love to focus on unfiltered moments, a pause between 'the' photo. There’s tenderness in that, and truth. My approach is to capture more than just faces, but feeling. I lean into movement, natural light and connection to create images that have depth - fleeting glances, wind in hair, little hands, the space between people.
It's less about posing and more about presence, finding beauty in everyday life.
