Across a range of genres, from portraits to landscapes to wildlife, the work of 40 contemporary photographers features in a brand new book. Exposure: Contemporary Photographers in Australia and New Zealand, authored by Amber Creswell-Bell, highlights an array of practices that explore fashion, Indigenous culture, nature, and more.

Published by Thames & Hudson Australia, Exposure “captures the essence of modern photography, showcasing bold perspectives, striking landscapes, and intimate portraits that reflect the region’s cultural richness and natural beauty,” says a statement.

Photography that may be familiar to Colossal readers include the bird portraits of Leila Jeffreys and Joseph McGlennon, along with the artistic self-portraits of Atong Atem.

The title is currently out in Australia and New Zealand and is slated for release in the U.S. in mid-January. Pre-order your copy on Bookshop.
