'Emma Philips has fourteen years of experience as a professional photographer in Australian media and advertising and ten years of experience in teaching communications and photography programs across Sydney and Melbourne. Her work merges her industry skills with traditional research to create unique, practice-based methodologies, with a particular focus on the ways that image-making might be informed by classist, sexist and gendered assumptions about women’s sexuality, on collaboration and on the elevation of marginalised voices. Emma is an Assistant Professor in Visual Communication with the Faculty of Arts and Design, University of Canberra.' (Text Special Issue 29)
