Toni Harris’ monochromatic perspective

A CHRISTMAS gift of a small Kodax pocket film camera when she was a child started a love affair with photography for Rutherglen’s Toni Harris. “I was hooked from the time I got that camera,” Toni said. “When I was at high school, we did darkroom photography as part of the art program and that really clinched the deal for me. “I still love the alchemy of a darkroom and the traditional processes but I don’t have a darkroom of my own at the moment.” Born in Corryong, Toni’s family moved to Wangaratta when she was 10, and Toni completed her schooling first at Wangaratta Primary (Chisholm Street) and then the Wangaratta High School. “When we moved to Wangaratta back in 1986, I didn’t really like Wangaratta but it is amazing seeing things with more mature eyes and now I love this part of the world. “The countryside, mountains, rivers and the lifestyle that we have in this area is outstanding.” Toni’s muse is travel and she loves to capture unique and candid moments. “Street photography for me fits this brief exactly - placing or having people in landscapes for scale and relate-ability is something that I really enjoy.”
