About Olive Cotton
- Olive Cotton (11 July 1911 – 27 September 2003) was a pioneering Australian modernist female photographer of the 1930s and 1940s working in Sydney.
- Cotton became a national "name" with a retrospective and touring exhibition 50 years later in 1985.
- A book of her life and work, published by the National Library of Australia, came out in 1995.
- Cotton captured her childhood friend Max Dupain from the sidelines at photoshoots, e.g.
- "Fashion shot, Cronulla Sandhills, circa 1937" and made several portraits of him.
- Dupain was Cotton's first husband. The prestigious Olive Cotton Award for Photographic Portraiture was set up in her honour and funded by Cotton’s family and held at the Tweed regional gallery in New South Wales.
