Drawn from the photography journal Photofile, this volume collects work by prominent critics, theorists, and cultural commentators about many of Australia's most significant
photoartists. It illustrates how, located between the realms of fine art and visual culture, photography has underpinned many key developments in our understanding of both during the last
decades of the twentieth century. The essays investigate a wide range of subjects including documentary photography, race and representation, and photography and national identity.
