Covering the twenty-five-year career of one of Australia’s leading photojournalists, Exposed examines the role of photojournalism in shifting the consciousness of contemporary globalised society. Showcasing key historical events such as the anti-whaling campaign of the Sea Shepherd (2009-17) to longer documentary projects such as the ongoing human rights issues of Indigenous Australians, Exposed considers the evolution of photojournalism from analogue film and published media to the free flow of images on the Internet and social media. The images emphasise the power of communicating social issues in our everyday and increases our awareness of the interplay of both subliminal and overt interpretations
