Collection: Isabella Moore

Isabella is an Australian/Peruvian photojournalist based in Sydney. She is committed to relational, collaborative and research driven journalism practices with communities who have experienced misrepresentation in mainstream press. Isabella’s Peruvian heritage informs her work. In particular, she recognises that intergenerational trauma and the ongoing impacts of colonisation are widely felt in settler colonial societies such as Australia.

She was commissioned by Wellcome Trust (2021) to report on the physical health impacts of climate change, and by the Judith Neilson Institute (2022) to report on Covid-19 in the Northern Territory.

Isabella’s work has been exhibited at the State Library of New South Wales (SLNSW), and published in international and national pub- lications, including The New York Times, The Guardian, The Ob- server, The Saturday Paper, The Monthly, and the Financial Times.

She is currently a finalist in the National Photographic Portrait Prize (2023), has three times been a finalist in the prestigious Mo- ran Contemporary Photographic Prize (2011, 2018), and twice a finalist in the Olive Cotton Award (2021, 2023).

She received a Highly Commended for Best Photojournalism (2020) and Best Reporting on Indigenous affairs (2022) by the Journalism and Education Research Association of Australia. She has completed a Master of Advanced Journalism (2022) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Studies at Macquarie University (2008).

Isabella is a member of Women Photograph and Diversify Photo.
