Another Australian photographer from Degree South group:--- Stephen Dupont. He is a war photographer who has produced a large body of work on Afghanistan
Stephen Dupont, untitled, Afghanistan, ?
Dupont, 40, who has spent much of the past 20 years covering conflict zones, was awarded one of the most prestigious photography awards, the W. Eugene Smith Grant for Humanistic Photography. In the 15 years of largely self-funded work in Afghanistan---since 1993-- Dupont, has borne witness to the civilian victims of the Afghan civil war, the rise of the Taliban, and been embedded with US troops in the "war on terrorism". He mostly works alone on the streets of Kabul.
An interesting body of work is the portraits of violence series about the gangs of Port Moresby and and Gaza Strip published in the Digital Journalist.
