1. Australian Story

2. Harold Cazneaux, Self-portrait, 1904 Harold Cazneaux, 1878-1953, was Australia’s leading Pictorialist photographer. He held the first solo exhibition of photography in Australia; sent his pictures overseas to competitions and was recognized as a pioneer of the pictorial movement. HAROLD CAZNEAUX

3. Harold Cazneaux, Sunlight and Shade, 1910 The goal of Pictoralism was to elevate photography to the same status as painting. Photographers used strong com- positions, soft focus, atmospheric effects such as fog, mist and evening light, and a preference for the darker end of the photographic palette.

5. In 1916 with five friends, Casneaux founded the amateur Sydney Camera Circle. Opposed to slavish imitation of overseas trends, he argued for a break with the typical low-toned British print in favour of 'truly Australian sunshine effects'. http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/cazneaux-harold-pierce-5542 Harold Cazneaux, The Bent Tree, 1914,

15. Dupain was also influenced by the Vitalism doctrine, which held that a transcendent 'vital force' exists within living organisms. In particular, he admired the writings of DH Lawrence.

He documented the height of Australian industry, recording places such as factories, oil refineries and treatment plants—many of them long since gone. In these places, Sievers found unexpected beauty and virtue. http://www.nla.gov.au/pub/nlanews/2011/sep11/sievers.pdf

38. Wolfgang Sievers, Gears for Mining Industry, VIckers Ruwolt, Burnley, 1971 Working out of darkness and illuminating the scene with my own few light sources gave me the dramatic effects I wanted, almost invariably by using strong side and weak front lighting, ideas quite unoriginal because they were stolen directly from Rembrandt.

55. BILL HENSON Bill Henson is a contemporary art photographer based in Melbourne. He has an international reputation. “The use of chiaroscuro is common throughout his works, through underexposure and adjustment in printing. His photographs' use of soft focus is intended to give them a painterly atmosphere. The work is often presented as diptychs, triptychs and in other groupings, and the exhibitions are specifically curated by Henson to reflect a sense of musicality.” Dylan O'Donnell, portrait of Bill Henson, 2008
