Photography and Australia
Helen Ennis, 2007
About
'This is a first-rate book. It reproduces some superb and utterly distinctive imagery.' - Sebastian Smee, Art Newspaper
With its moving landscapes and famously independent cultural traditions, Australia is uniquely suited to having its national narrative told through visual documentation. Helen Ennis gathers here a selection of photographs that recount the story of Australia, and through this visual chronicle, she uncovers a distinctively Australian visual culture.
