The Rocketgirl Chronicles is a series of images featuring Rovenko's young daughter in a home-made astronaut suit designed by his wife. [6] With the first photographs originally intended as family memories, documenting the daily walks within the permitted radius under the restrictions of Melbourne's prolonged lockdown, [7] they quickly found resonance both locally [8] and abroad, [9] [10] [11] with high-profile publications including Vogue [1] and Rolling Stone, [12] being featured in exhibitions in Australia, Italy and New York and receiving multiple international photography awards.
The photograph from the series titled "The Shuttle" was selected as the cover for British Journal of Photography "Portrait of Humanity", a yearly publication of remarkable portraits from around the world. [13]
With the author being a practitioner of traditional photography workflow, [14] the series was captured on medium format film using Mamiya RZ67 camera. [4]
The Rocketgirl Chronicles photography book was published in 2023, attracting acclaim winning 2024 Book Photographer of the Year at Px3 (Prix de la Photographie, Paris) [15] as well as being named Best Fine Art Publication at International Photography Awards [16] and Tokyo International Foto Awards.
