Michael Willson is honoured a second time at the 2020
Women in Sport Photo Action awards – for another very different image of Harris
A year ago, the famous image of Tayla Harris taken by photographer Michael Willson, who captured the AFLW player’s distinctive style mid-kick, was selected as the best women’s sport image of the year. The pair have now been honoured for a second time, with Willson again taking out the top prize at the 2020 Women in Sport Photo Action awards for another image of Harris, this time in a
boxing ring.
Titled From The Kick to a Punch, the image references last year’s winner, who became an influential
Actor for change after she was targeted by online trolls. Harris was ultimately immortalised in bronze with a statue erected in Melbourne’s Federation Square.
