Book Reviews

“Portraits from a Land Without People is a magnificent book … as important a book as anything that’s been published in Australia for years.”
​​​Phillip Adams

"The images compiled for ‘Portraits from a Land Without People’ are but a window into the Indigenous society. The challenge for those who read this collection is to look beyond the window and gaze into the heart and soul of the nation."
​​​​​​Patrick Dodson

"This collection of photographs is a catalogue of past wrongs, a celebration of Aboriginal empowerment and a testament to Aboriginal survival."
Larissa Behrendt

​​​​​​ "The book has an authenticity that dwarfs most attempts in film, television and print to tell the Aboriginal story of the last two centuries … It is a raw story. It stands on its own and yet pays its respect to so many others who looked through a lens along this long road."​​​​​​​​​​​
Jeff McMullen
