Stan Grant and Tracey Holmes by Nic Walker - Documentary by Wedge-Tail Pictures
Photographer, Nic Walker’s intention in creating a portrait of Stan Grant and Tracey Holmes for 'Australian Love Stories' was to ‘document their story of love and connection, culture and place’.
The portrait was taken on the Yarrangobilly River, at a site that was a meeting place for Ngunnawal and Wiradjuri people. It's a place where Stan’s Wiradjuri heritage connects with Tracey’s link to her Chinese forebear, who settled in the district in the nineteenth century.
In this short documentary, Wedge-Tail Pictures capture the story behind the portrait and how it was created.
The portrait is currently on display in the 'Australian Love Stories' exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery of Australia: https://www.portrait.gov.au/exhibitions/australian-love-stories-2020
