One of Australia’s finest photographers, Robert documented Australian society, politics, and the performing arts, including a great number of significant Australian films and theatre productions, and was photography critic for the Sydney Morning Herald for more than 25 years. He saw the world through a uniquely compassionate and poetic lens, and left a rich legacy of iconic images.

there the dance is.’
