Thanks to the team at Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery for hosting a thoughtful Art After Dark conversation on Friday evening. It was a pleasure to speak about portraiture, perception and photographing Australian identity, alongside Maurizio Hirmer’s extraordinary presentation of their feather works, with beautiful live music from Erin Welser throughout the evening.

I’m grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed to such an engaged and generous discussion.

Most photographers think about reach.
Far fewer think about where their work will live in fifty years.

I spoke with Paul Atkins recently about value, authorship and the difference between making images that circulate and making images that endure.

It’s a conversation about longevity, coherence and building work that holds meaning beyond the transaction.

That thinking sits at the core of the workshop I’m delivering in Broken Hill on 1 March.

Some work reveals more with distance.

This portrait was made early, before the noise, before certainty. Looking at it now, what stands out isn’t promise or ambition, but composure – a sense of someone becoming, rather than performing.

Time doesn’t change the meaning of images like this. It deepens it.

The work remains held in the archive.

Australian photography capturing the heart of cricket. An early portrait of Shane Warne and a quiet moment with Sir Donald and Lady Jessie Bradman in North Adelaide.
*
With a new Test starting, these portraits feel right to bring forward again. Warne at the beginning of it all with that mix of charm and restless energy. The Bradmans at home surrounded by the calm that comes when someone has already shaped the country in their own way.
*
I photographed both at very different moments in my career, but they sit together in the same story about the people who’ve shaped how Australians see themselves.
*
The Warne portrait isn’t released yet, but the Bradman edition is now available through The Sellick Archive.

Today the City of Burnside is celebrating 150 years of Kensington Oval, and they asked to include my portrait of Lady Jessie and Sir Donald Bradman as part of the historic display.

I rarely licence images for public use, so it’s meaningful to see this one shown in the place where so much of the Bradman story unfolded. The portrait was made in 1992 at the Bradmans’ home in Kensington Park and is now held in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery of Australia and the State Library of South Australia.

It remains one of the few late-life portraits of Sir Donald and Lady Jessie together. Quiet, domestic and grounded in the life they built long after the headlines faded.

A rare moment to see it out in the world again – and fitting that it finds its place at Kensington Oval.

During Placebo's first Australian tour, 1998 - Brian Molko in North Adelaide.
Photographed for Rolling Stone Australia, this image marked a turning point - capturing the moment Placebo’s raw intensity met the Australian summer light.

For the first time, this portrait will be available as both a Collector’s and Gift Edition - part of The Sellick Archive.

A story of instinct, playfulness and defiance - and a glimpse into the session that became legend.

Honoured to see the National Portrait Gallery highlight my portrait of Don Dunstan, created in Adelaide in the early 1990s.

As Senior Curator Serena Bentley noted, the Belladonna Lily in the foreground symbolises Dunstan’s resilience and his lifelong commitment to social reform.

The Bradmans, 1992 – a portrait of Sir Donald and Lady Jessie at their Adelaide home.

Created soon after I received the Young Achiever Award and before leaving for New York, this image reveals a private moment behind the legend – the nation’s most celebrated sportsman grounded by the woman who shaped his life.

The portrait has since been recognised as part of Australia’s visual history, held in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery of Australia and the State Library of South Australia.

Now available to private collectors for the first time, in a strictly limited edition of 15 – each hand-signed, numbered and printed to museum standards on archival Hahnemühle fine art paper.
