After a hugely successful seven year run, the Kalgoorlie Hormone Hoedown came to an end on Saturday night. The event was founded by Alicia Pumphrey, with the aim of giving women living in an outback mining town, often isolated from family and friends, a night out to connect with other women and let their hair down. Over the last four years I’ve been lucky enough to document the night’s shenanigans, and it’s always been equal parts hilarious and uplifting. Sincerest gratitude to the organisers and the women who’ve allowed me to photograph them in some joyous - and candid - moments 💕 #kalgoorlie #hormonehoedown #hormonehoedown2019 #womenphotograph #auswip #documentaryphotography #reportage #reportagespotlight #blackandwhite #candid #womenempowerment #outback #miningtown #bnw #kalgoorliephotographer #welovekb #sigma35mmart #sigma2470 #nikon #nikon_australia #australianwomenphotograph #womensupportingwomen #femalephotographerCassidy Rose McGlade, 2019 Goldfields Girl winner. This is the third year the event has run in the Goldfields, an expansion of the successful Kimberley and Pilbara programs, founded by Kira Fong. The series of workshops aim to empower young Indigenous women, and provide them with the skills and confidence to become leaders in their communities (27.04.19). ©️Melissa Drummond/Goolarri Media 2019 #kalgoorlie #lowlight #portrait #candid #bnw #bnwphotography #chiaroscuro #sigmamoment #sigma70200 #nikond750 #nikonaustralia #ritratto #auswip #womenphotograph #gettyreportagespotlightAiden, 20.04.19 #portrait #lowlight #chiaroscuro #son #kalgoorliephotographer #fineart #studio #nikon #nikon_aus #nikond800 #85mm #westernaustralia #desertkids #family #famiglia #famille #portraitphotography #portrait_shots #portraitphotographer #fbf #flashbackfriday #auswip #womenphotographLime plant, Parkeston 20.04.19 #newtopographics #aussiestreetphotography #kalgoorlie #auswip #womenphotograph #kalgoorliephotographer #desertlife #miningtown #goldminingtown #industriallandscape #industrialtown #night #documentaryphotography #sigmamoment #sigma70200 #nikon #nikon_aus #nikond750 #outback #street #urbanlandscape #australianlife #limeplant #parkeston #westernaustralia #ifyouleave #nightphotography #nightlights #cementworks #noirKalgoorlie 18.04.19 #newtopographics #aussiestreetphotography #kalgoorlie #welovekb #auswip #womenphotograph #kalgoorliephotographer #desertlife #miningtown #goldminingtown #architecture #night #documentaryphotography #sigma35mmart #sigmaart #nikon #nikon_aus #nikond800 #outback #street #urbanlandscape #australianlife #noir #heartwalkcbd #somewheremagazine #ifyouleave #nightscene #westernaustralia #australiansceneFimiston 16.04.19 #newtopographics #aussiestreetphotography #kalgoorlie #signspotting #auswip #womenphotograph #kalgoorliephotographer #desertlife #miningtown #goldminingtown #night #documentaryphotography #sigma35mmart #sigmaart #nikon #nikon_aus #nikond800 #outback #street #urbanlandscape #australianlife #ifyouleave #somewheremagazine #fimiston #railwaycrossing #noir #westernaustralia #isolation-
