Frank Hurley

    Frank Hurley était un aventurier et photographe dont le travail de toute une vie s'est concentré sur la capture de conditions extrêmes et de la résilience humaine. Sa carrière précoce comprenait des expéditions pionnières en Antarctique, où il a utilisé ses lentilles pour documenter le rude environnement polaire et le courage des explorateurs. Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, il est devenu photographe de guerre officiel australien, risquant sa vie pour capturer les horreurs de la guerre des tranchées en France, en Palestine et au Caire. Décrites comme un "guerrier avec son appareil photo", les images de Hurley ont non seulement informé, mais ont également inspiré, et son dévouement tout au long de sa vie à rapporter des images des lieux les plus impitoyables du monde en fait une figure singulière de la photographie documentaire.
