Eric Thake
Melbourne: Gryphon Books, 1982.

Produced in the year of Thake’s death in an edition of 250 numbered copies, this an out of sequence proof copy. Text by Elizabeth Summons, preface by Patrick McCaughey.

Photobook by French photographer Christophe Bourguedieu taken in Perth and regional Western Australia between 2004 and 2006.

Markus Andersen
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2015.

“Markus Andersen’s photographs feature the city of Sydney as an abstracted backdrop for a fragile human presence, one dwarfed by overwhelming architectural development and consumerism. In these moody black-and-white images, people scurry about and are literally exposed by light. Struck by shafts of illumination between buildings, they are like insects coming out for food.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy signed to the title page.

Self published photobook of a forest community in Western Australia by English photographer Sam Harris, limited to 50 signed and numbered copies. Winner of the Australian Photobook of the Year 2011.

Martin Parr
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2011.

“In 2011 Magnum photographer Martin Parr set out to photograph three Western Australian port cities, Fremantle, Port Hedland and Broome. Each town was a unique setting for a photographer famed for his images of British seaside culture in the publication Last Resort. Using his unmistakably intimate and satirical style, Parr went about photographing Australian cliches, full of saturated colours and flash photography. The resulting photographs, published here for the first time, are an invaluable collection from this world-renowned British photographer.” (publisher’s blurb)

Louise Whelan
Sydney: T&G Publishing, [2013].

“Documents the diversity of people who immigrate to Australia, and defies the prejudice and stereotyping embedded in parts of society. It is common in media coverage to play on fear in the community and demonize boat people. Text by The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG One-time Justice of the High Court of Australia and Fiona Upward.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy signed by Whelan on the title page.

Colin Abbott

Peter Elliston
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2008.

“These rare photographs, never published before, present a charming portrait of times gone by, an Australian ambience that no longer exists. The Collection comprises vignettes of family and social life in the years between the first and second world wars in Victoria. The photographs also provide the viewer with an opportunity to see what life was like at that time, the emotional landscapes of cities and towns that are today dramatically altered by the modernisation of life.” (publisher’s blurb)

Markus Andersen
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2016.

“Cabramatta is not your typical Australian suburb. If you took a stroll through the streets of this south-western Sydney hub, you may feel like you are in Southeast Asia. However, the suburb of Cabramatta is emblematic of modern Australia — urban, busy and brimming with multicultural activity. Sydney photographer Markus Andersen has captured this melting pot of cultures in his distinctive, street photography style. His raw, sometimes playful images show the uniquely diverse and human side of Cabramatta, seizing little moments of beauty in everyday life. A year in the life of one of Australia’s most vivid multicultural communities, suspended in the amber of Markus Andersen’s lens.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy signed by Andersen.
