An Anthology of Australian Photojournalism by Head On Foundation

Curated by Moshe Rosenzveig OAM and Brian Cassey

A celebration of Australian photojournalism, Paper Tigers features sixty images from sixty of the best Australian photojournalists.

The need for truthful journalism has never been more dire. It is through the lens of these photographers that we understand and experience much of the world’s events. Look back at the most critical moments through recent Australian history, and the images by which we remember them.

Paper Tigers began as a simple print swap between friends and grew into a much larger project resulting in this major exhibition and a book to celebrate Australian Photojournalism, both produced by Head On Foundation. Paper Tigers premiered at Head On Photo Festival, Sydney in 2020.

Moshe Rosenzveig OAM is the founder and artistic director of the Head On Photo Festival. Brian Cassey is a multi-award-winning photojournalist based in Cairns but active globally. Together, they have assembled a collection that offers a snapshot of Australia over the past four decades – images that define modern Australia, reflect our culture, make political statements, and represent diverse aspects of our world.
