Mazz Image
Australian Artist, Mazz Image has been documenting the colour, beauty and drama of the Sydney lifestyle since the 1980's. With her love for the colour purple, Mazz has been a familiar and energetic advocate of the GLBTQ community for many years. She has achieved a Master of Arts - Photo-media degree from the University of New South Wales, is an Ambassador for Sydney's New Mardi Gras, and has been a professional photographer for over fifteen years. Her work is published regularly and Mazz specialises in portraiture and event documentation for both corporate and private clients.
Since 1990, as part of the annual Sydney Gay+Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival, Mazz has presented photographic exhibitions at venues around Sydney. In 2003, to coincide with the launch of her historic book, 'You & Mardi Gras | Images by Mazz' a six-week solo exhibition was held at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney. Mazz is now presenting her unique photographs of Sydney to international communities, including: Gay Village in Roma, Pluriel in Milano and KUDOS in London. Then in summer 2004 as an official event of both San Francisco LGBT Pride / National Queer Arts Festival and Divers/Citè in Montreal.
Mazz is continuing her contemporary social anthropology by exploring the passion of international celebrations within the realms of Mardi Gras Carnivale and Gay Pride gatherings at key global locations - Pride in London, Paris, San Francisco, Rome, Milan and Montreal; Carnivale in Ivrea - Italy, are now a part of her extensive ever-expanding archive.
In addition to speaking about her work and hosting tours of her exhibitions, Mazz now produces short art films with the photographs from these vibrant events. Sharing these magic moments within digital new media productions unites photographic images and original music with the latest imaging technology to create a dynamic and entertaining experience.
