Sarah Black is a photographer and writer living on both Wurundjeri and Bunurung land, aka southern Victoria, Australia. She works as a mother to 4 young people. She is interested in making art that explores how to live with integrity, inclusion, justice and open-heartedness in this ecologically and socio-politically complex age. She reveres the photograph as both an interrogative form and an artifact of lived experience, and is particularly drawn to explore the places where these interpretations meet. Since 2015 she has worked almost exclusively in analogue photography, with a special interest in older cameras and less controllable processes.

Photographic and written works have appeared in publications as varied as Vogue Australia, Womankind Magazine, and Cordite Magazine.

Sarah is currently undertaking studies towards a Master of Fine Art at RMIT Melbourne.
