Nikki Toole’s Roller Girls

May 23rd, 2011 by

We posted about Nikki Toole’s Epic photo project last year and wanted to update you again on what she’s been doing since. Roller Girl is the newest batch of work by Nikki, documenting the tough and gritty ladies that take part in the Australian Roller Derby Scene. Based on 19th century military portraits, these roller girls  are battle ready warriors donning their best armour for the war ahead.

    Enjoy the comparison to military portraits, but see very little documentation… If you wanna see roller derby documentary check out this series titled Bout Girls…www.anthonytafuro.blogspot.com
