20/20 Celebrating twenty years with twenty new portrait commissions, National Portrait Gallery, Australia

In 2018, I was commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery to create a picture of Professor Michelle Simmons, 2018 Australian of the Year and a pioneer in atomic electronics and quantum computing. She is an exceptional individual and role model and it was an incredible honour and privilege to photograph Professor Simmons for the NPG's collection. www.portrait.gov.au/content/2020-michel…
