A series of photographs of pro-life and anti-abortion law campaigners in Ireland last year won British freelance photographer Olivia Harris a top award in the World Press Photo Exhibition, which is about to open in Auckland. Her winning portfolio for the Exhibition, Blessed Be the Fruit: Ireland's Struggle to Overturn Anti-Abortion Laws, took out the first prize for Contemporary Issues stories section. Olivia gave up a career in theatre to concentrate on documentary photography. Since then her assignments have included covering earthquake-stricken Nepal, and people trafficking. I asked Olivia Harris how she came to be on the streets of Dublin in during the height of the protest action: Olivia Harris, whose photographs can be seen in the World Press Photo Exhibition that opens in Auckland on June 29 at Smith and Caughey.
