Across a range of genres, from portraits to landscapes to wildlife, the work of 40 contemporary photographers features in a brand new book. Exposure: Contemporary Photographers in Australia and New Zealand, authored by Amber Creswell-Bell, highlights an array of practices that explore fashion, Indigenous culture, nature, and more.

Published by Thames & Hudson Australia, Exposure “captures the essence of modern photography, showcasing bold perspectives, striking landscapes, and intimate portraits that reflect the region’s cultural richness and natural beauty,” says a statement.
