MARIA LLOYD, CRAFTY DRAFT (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2026)

A dynamic documentary study captured in the stockyards of my rural property in Central Queensland. The image frames a stockman -my husband Jas on a striking grey horse working draft cattle through a haze of rising dust. Titled "Crafty Draft", the photograph explores the intense concentration, skill, and grit required during seasonal cattle management, capturing a raw, authentic slice of contemporary stockmanship and regional Australian life.
