Biography:

Ilsa Wynne-Hoelscher Kidd is a multi award-winning Australian photographic artist who’s work spans across portraiture, art, fashion, still life and documentary, with a strong aim to capture subjects and narratives true to how she sees and digests the world. Inspired by imperfections and hard truths, and intrigued by the power held in the insignificant, she hopes to document feelings felt in fleeting moments, highlighting the crushing truth that nothing lasts forever. As a mother of two, her work pulses within the heart of womanhood and symbols of life, offering viewers a feminine glance through the lens whether it be through a detailed long-from series or an insightful cutaway. She naturally leans towards capturing the essence of a concept, looking for the honesty in the in-between, the silence, the overlooked, and works her composition to deliver in a sometimes crude but alluring cinema-verite style. Ilsa’s work has been recognised, awarded, exhibited and published globally, and has limited edition works hanging in private collections worldwide. She is currently finalising her first photo book, her recently awarded series ‘Twelve Moons’ to be released with a solo show and book launch in 2021. Ilsa is also co-founder and co-creative director of Alt-House, a visual production house and creative agency in Fitzroy, Melbourne.
