Bio
C. Moore Hardy (b. 1955) is an Australian artist known for her extensive photographic documentation of the Sydney queer community since the late 1970s. Hardy's work has encompassed both freelance and commercial photography, featuring candid portraiture of community events, most notably the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, and in particular minority groups within the LGBTQI+ community. She successfully ran Starfish Studio Photography Studio/Gallery in Clovelly, NSW for 15 years. Her portraiture of Mardi Gras and minority groups within the LGBTQI+ community have created an archival legacy which speaks to the changing generational understandings and attitudes of and towards the Sydney queer community. Recently exhibited in NAS Gallery’s Museum of Love and Protest 2018, exhibition, Hardy spoke to the importance of photographic timing, having a visual language, a social conscience, community, feminism and art. Hardy completed a Printmaking and Photography Higher Art Certificate at the National Art School in 1989, and has also studied at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Technology Sydney, and Randwick TAFE.
