What's distinctive about his photography?

I think what distinguishes his photography is that it's very straightforward.

There's a documentary style to it.

He will ask people to do certain things, to demonstrate things, but it's not art photography.

And that's the sort of tension in the later part of his career.

He was adopted by the art world But that's not the language he speaks.

You know, he's really stuck to his guns with the exception of one or two photographs that have caused great excitement, such as his quartet of Bungaree images, where his son dressed as the different facets of Bungaree, who was an Aboriginal man in the early colony in Sydney.

So how did you represent the historical, political, cultural and social context of his life?
