Melbourne : Ginninderra Press,2025. ISBN 9781761097089. Quarto, hardcover, 207 pages; offset printed on ivory silk paper for superior image reproduction and touch. Designed and typeset by Isambard Thomas. This biography of one of Australia's treasured artists offers an intimate portrait of the struggles and triumphs of Mervyn Bishop, Australia's ground-breaking Indigenous photographer. Born in Brewarrina NSW in 1945, he used chance, charm and talent to join the staff of the Sydney Morning Herald at just 17. He won a top news photography award but never received the customary pay increase. Disillusioned, Bishop moved to Canberra as a government photographer and took the iconic photo of Gough Whitlam pouring earth into the hands of traditional owner Vincent Lingiari. He later returned to Sydney and was eventually befriended by the arts scene, leading to his first solo exhibition in 1991. But this victory was clouded by the death of his wife on the day of the opening. While often celebrated for chronicling the rising visibility of Indigenous Australians, Bishop is also proud of what he calls his 'whitefella pictures'. He carved his own path, deftly navigating the Black and White worlds of post-war Australia. Tim Dobbyn is a former journalist who started at Australian Associated Press in 1981 before moving to the United States in 1987 to work for Reuters. After taking a break from daily journalism, he worked freelance jobs before starting work on the Mervyn Bishop biography in 2018. He and his family have known Bishop since 1962. He lives near Washington D.C. with his wife Sheila and two impossible dogs.
