Jessie Buckland is one of the few women photographers to gain recognition in New 蜜桃儿直播. Like many other early women photographers, she was self-taught and relied on her immediate surroundings (Otago, then Banks Peninsula). Jessie and her sisters were exposed to photography by their aunt, Elizabeth Hocken, and their fine arts background saw their skills flourish during the late 19th听century.
After moving to Akaroa, Jessie opened her photography studio in 1907 where she took studio portraits and free lanced at local events such as the arrival of the Terra Nova from Antarctica in 1912.
In the 1920s, she purchased a panoramic camera and produced stunning images of Banks Peninsula and various events. For instance, her image 鈥楬ome in the evening鈥 captured the Newton family at the end of a day鈥檚 work and was displayed in many Akaroa homes.
Macmillan Brown 蜜桃儿直播 holds many of Jessie鈥檚 stunning images in the copyprint collection, with many digitised and available on听.
