#4 CAM NEVILLE FIGHTING FIRES!

26 May

Today’s guest is a special breed of photojournalist. Though he’d be brisk to point out he’s no hero; that those he photographs and the conditions he makes photographs in is what should draw you to his work, Australian photographer Cam Neville has been making news of late for the very real and stark pictures he presents of those in the front line fighting the continent’s ferocious bush fires.

He has won much acclaim for his work but what really makes him unique is the fact he doesn’t simply make pictures of the fires he witnesses, he rolls his sleeves up and fights the beast too. He is one of Australia’s voluntary fire fighting force who number in their tens of thousands.

He has been published: BBC News Online, BBC UK World TV - Impact, ABC Brisbane, ABC National, Qantas, The Daily Mail, The Guardian Australia, The Sun Herald, Australian Photography, The Moran Arts Foundation, Lens Culture, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, ABC National, Capture Magazine, Photo Review Australia, Fujicast UK, National Portrait Gallery Canberra, to name just a few.

The podcast takes a twist as Cam it would seem, is never off duty.
