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 WWII, 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.
