Jacqueline Mitelman is an Australian portrait photographer.
Early life and education
Jacqueline Mitelman was born in Scotland in 1949, and has since lived in Melbourne and in France for a few years. She studied for a Diploma of Art and Design at Prahran College of Advanced Education 1973-76, where her lecturers were Athol Shmith, Paul Cox, and John Cato.
Career
After graduation practiced as a freelance photographer specialising in portraiture for magazines and newspapers, album and book covers, and for theatre and music posters.[1] The National Portrait Gallery holds twenty of her photographs[2] including those of Michael Leunig, Christina Stead, Brett Whiteley, Germaine Greer, Ruby Hunter, Alan Marshall, Kylie Tennant, Susan Ryan, Ita Buttrose and Max Dupain.[3] Her depiction of Miss Alesandra, won the Gallery’s National Photographic Portrait prize.[4][5] Mitelman says of her approach that;
“taking photographs is a bit like a temporary infatuation, for me, because, I'm not interested in taking awkward pictures of somebody, so it's a bit like, you know that process when you fall in love with somebody.”[6]
Of Mitelman’s portraits of dogs, critic Anna Clabburn wrote; “These subjects are approached with reverence and deliberation and, like a human portrait, strive towards an inner essence by mapping the creature’s eyes and body language. There’s much to be learnt from Mitelman’s comic yet serious transposition of dogs into human guise. The anthropomorphic quality of her subjects is both inviting and vaguely disturbing…” [7]
