M Ellen Burns is a photographer known for her striking work capturing the unique world of 'skimpies'—barmaids in lingerie who serve drinks in Australia's mining towns. After finding herself in Kalgoorlie during the COVID-19 pandemic, she immersed herself in this vibrant subculture, documenting the lives and stories of these women through candid photography, which culminated in her self-published book, 'Skimpies'.
