JOHN OGDEN, ACS

John Ogden is a respected writer, publisher, educator, cinematographer and photographer based in Sydney, Australia. Ogden’s career began as a photojournalist in Southeast Asia during the early seventies, before joining the infamous Tracks magazine and freelancing for other counter culture magazines. In 1979 he graduated from the Western Australia Institute of Technology (now Curtin University) having studied literature, anthropology and filmmaking.

Ogden is an accredited member of the Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) and has received many awards for his cinematography. Over the last four decades he has worked as a Director of Photography, with experience in long-form drama and short films, as well as documentaries, music video, and commercials.

In 1999 Ogden established Cyclops Press as a vehicle to publish books that promote the work of Australian authors and photographers. Many titles in the Cyclops Press catalogue strive to promote an awareness of First Nations culture. Portraits from a Land Without People (2008) raised over $80,000 towards improving Indigenous health outcomes through working with the Jimmy Little Foundation. In recent years there has also been a focus on a Surf Series of books, including Whitewash, Unearthed, Waterproof, and Grajagan. Cyclops Press has also collaborated with other independent publishers and authors to help realise their projects.
