Imagining a real Australia : the documentary style 1950-1960

Zagala, Stephen2024

Australian documentary photography was at its height from the 1950s to 1970s. A time of great flux - social, political and cultural - was reflected in the photographs of Max Dupain, Carol Jerrems, William Yang, Rennie Ellis, David Moore, Mervyn Bishop, Sue Ford and others. A time when the gritty documentary photography that emerged in the US after World War II, hand-held film cameras, instamatic colour film, Polaroid cameras and the arrival of television all pushed photography in a revolutionary new direction. Imagining a Real Australia is a stunning testament to a time when photographers turned their lenses on real people living real lives.
