Exposure Contemporary photographers in Australia and New Zealand | Author: Amber Creswell Bell

From the award-winning author of Australian Abstract comes a striking new volume on contemporary photography.

A photograph is more than a frozen image—it’s the capture of a single, fleeting instant. The slightest shift before or after the shutter clicks can transform the outcome entirely. Within that split second lies the power to stir emotion, reveal hidden truths, and illuminate what might otherwise go unseen.

In Exposure, Amber Creswell Bell presents the work of forty leading photographers from Australia and New Zealand, including Tamara Dean, Leila Jeffreys, Bill Henson, and Kara Rosenlund. Through diverse approaches—whether spontaneous snapshots or carefully composed scenes—these artists explore themes of environment, identity, motherhood, and the natural world.

The result is a compelling survey of contemporary practice: bold perspectives, intimate portraits, and evocative landscapes that reflect the cultural depth and visual richness of our region.
