Nirrimi is a seventeen year old who is loud through images, who wants to be a part of the future of photographic and youth culture. She is a daughter to an aboriginal artist and a swedish-australian hippie and am originally from Townsville, North Queensland- where it is always summer. She started taking pictures of her sister at the age of thirteen and never stopped. She likes pretty young things that she pulls from the streets and film (She calls what she shoots digital film, because it still has the colour). The sun is her lighting, the clouds diffusers and she finds studio images bland. She says "if you want to be original you have to shoot outside the (literal) box." She wants to be a traveller and live, photographing realness. Last year was signed to an agency and shot a commissioned editorial for her favourite magazine and came first in the photography division of Qantas Spirit Of Youth Awards where she is being mentored by Tim Richardson. This year she is shooting in New York and releasing a book and next she wants to write and create films and live her dreams!
