Liz Ham

Ham spent years working on Punk Girls, a photo-book featuring portraits of women, many of her friends, in punk fashion. It began as a punk zine but was published in 2017 by Manuscript Daily. Discrimination against the punk rock subculture is explored with her photographs in the book; these girls who are different, but beautiful in their difference.

In 2014 Ham self-published a limited edition of Eastern Suburbs Girls, a small 56-page photo-book showing what it might have been like "growing up in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia in the 1980s and 1990s."

Ham has done work for Oyster magazine and in 2009, Teddy Girls images by Ham were published by Oyster and then in Art Monthly Australia in 2010. Ham has photographed for Vogue Australia. Design Scene magazine featured a retro style photo shoot by Ham entitled The Apple of My Eye.

In 2000, Ham exhibited her work at Stills Gallery, in 2013 at the Sydney Photographer's Exhibition, and in 2018 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney

In 1997 Ham photographed bohemian dancer Vali Myers. To represent the culture of Australia, Ham has photographed people she knows in their natural daily environment, using realism and social documentary photography.
