Description
Shooting the Picture is the story of Australian news photography since the 1960s, the power of the medium, the seismic changes in the newspaper industry and how images capture society, identity and place.
Taking a thematic approach, this groundbreaking book explores the visual representation of our political leaders and campaigns, crime and the body, war and censorship, the international stage, climate and disaster, place, sport, gender, race, lost children and welcome and unwelcomemigrants.
