New Zealand-born photographer Kathryn McCool was a teenager and amateur behind the camera in the late 1980s when she began taking images of her community, family and friends. In nearly 50 never-before-seen photos, mostly shot in Palmerston North on black-and-white film with a Rolleiflex camera, McCool captures shopkeepers, young children and animals going about their lives
• Kathryn McCool: P.North is at the Centre for Contemporary Photography Project Space in Melbourne from 25 October until 14 December
