Rochelle is a photographic artist currently living and working in Naarm/ Melbourne.

Her work spans the realm between documentary and art photography. Exploring themes of identity and relationships she is fundamentally drawn to the flux of the human condition and our innate bond with the natural world.

Her intuitive approach mirrors the haphazard nature of daily life interconnected with memories and dreams. Her seamless interchange between black and white and colour photography embraces the unique qualities of Australian light to evoke a sense of nostalgia.

“The human experience is complex and beautiful, and what gets me about life is that we never know what’s going to happen next. The unexpected moves us and reshapes us. It inspires moments of vigilance and those of reckless abandon. Whatever the impact the experience is visceral, unfathomed, and unperformed.”

Rochelle has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Victorian Collage of the Arts, Melbourne University. Over the past decade she has worked as a freelance photographer documenting families, weddings, food, architecture and interiors.
