FRANK HURLEY, A PHOTOGRAPHER’S LIFE

By Alasdair McGregor

In this readable, definitive and wonderfully illustrated re-issued biography, Alasdair McGregor describes Hurley’s life and character in all its richness. Hurley kept diaries throughout his life and McGregor uses these insights to give a picture of a truly complex and driven man.

After Frank Hurley’s death, his personal collection of negatives, lantern slides, transparencies, prints, diaries scrapbooks and papers was acquired by the National Library of Australia and has been used widely in the evocative images of this book.
