°SOUTH is a photographic collective of Australia’s most creative and award-winning documentary photographers who have covered conflicts from Vietnam to present day Afghanistan. These photographers live a very unique lifestyle and often perform at great risk to themselves to tell the story. The dedication of ‘°SOUTH’ is to record ‘evidence’ in a fair, truthful and informative way, following on the great Australian tradition of Frank Hurley, Hubert Wilkins, George Silk, Max Dupain and Damien Parer. Wars are complex situations that defy easy answers. With the courage of a soldier and the eye of a witness these photographers have created images of power and compassion that can influence public opinion, have historical significance and even reawaken a sense of responsibility in Humanity to deal with them.
