Subject - Idella Hansen - trucker woman - from the series ’Sisters of the Road’
Date shot - 2018 - book published 2022currently on touring exhibition in USA 2024
Location: Arizona desert USA
In this behind the scenes shot, I am photographing trucker, Idella Hanson, for my project Sisters of the Road, a series of portraits and stories of American trucker women.
Idella has been a trucker for over 50 years, and she is already famous in the world of trucking Even has a truck stop named after her.
When I met her in the Arizona desert to take her portrait, she was a fascinating subject to photograph she flitted between a fierce facade and a soft grandmother vibe. I think I caught some of that duality in this portrait. It is my favourite of the series.
