Set within the Australian landscape, Tamara Dean explores what it is to be human – our fragility and vulnerability, and our intrinsic connection to the natural world. Dean’s powerful photographs explore a mysterious realm where ritual, intimacy and femininity are portrayed and with an almost pagan sensibility, that draws on the elemental forces of nature for inspiration.

Dean’s portrait ‘Damien’ won the ‘Olive Cotton Award’ for photographic portraiture in 2011, while ‘The Bride’ – from ‘Ritualism’ – won first prize in ‘Sydney Life: Art and About’ 2009.
