2019 WISPA Award Entries

It should come as no surprise that I’m a big fan of women’s sport in both my personal and professional life. The Women in Sport Photo Action Awards bring this interest together with my hobby of photography. Here are my three entries for this year’s contest, each of which were previously shared in my Instagram feed and/or story.

Total Clarity

Yesterday I finished the hard part of my ‘pre’ data collection (this photo is, in fact, part of that data). For the first time in my PhD candidature, I can see the finish line with total clarity. 30 October, y’all.

Off To A Great Start

New Melbourne Star Holly Ferling loves her fans and they love her.

WBBL04 is off to a great start.

Something I Will Never Forget

Today sees my favourite cricketer Ellyse Perry bring up her 100th ODI and 200th match for the Southern Stars. Being there for her amazing 213* in the Ashes Test last year is something I will never forget – it’s the single most impressive individual sporting accomplishment I’ve ever seen in person.

This is a snapshot I snagged following their recent T20 v New Zealand at North Sydney Oval.
