MERVYN BISHOP: JOURNEY OF A PHOTOGRAPHER

Journey of a Photographer is a carefully documented photographic essay which reveals the life of a wandering photographer in a striking retrospective exhibition.

This ehxibition documents the magical experiences of a young photographer from Brewarrina, North-Western NSW watching his first black and white prints developing in a small darkroom in the 1950s, through to the early works from Bishop's Sydney Morning Herald cadetship in the 1960s-70s and substantial documentary work with communities and events in the 1980s and 1990s. This significant exhibition provides a window into Mervyn Bishop's journey through the physical and social landscape of Australia.
