Biography of Anne: Anne was born in Queensland, Australia, on September 13, 1956, the third daughter in the family. Raised on a vast 26,000-acre beef cattle property in North Queensland, Australia, Anne and her four sisters were true country kids. They spent their time horseback riding, mustering cattle, and swimming in flooded creek beds during the wet season. At eleven or twelve years of age, she would drive the Land Rover slowly through parched paddocks in the dry season, with her sisters standing on the back, dropping hay for the cattle.

Anne has a distinct memory of standing in the family’s front garden when she was seven or eight years old. It was a sunny day, very hot, and her mother was hanging the laundry on their clothesline. Anne told her mother that there was something she needed to do, and her mother casually replied that she should run off and play, but Anne said, “That’s not what I mean.” It was a moment of absolute clarity for Anne, a premonition of the deeply felt belief that would become her passion and life’s work.

Growing up, she pored over magazines such as National Geographic and Life (her favorite), with their high values placed on the strength and quality of their photography. She loved images of people and remembers being fascinated by the concept of a single still image capturing an exact moment in time that could never be repeated. Read More..
