Roger Donaldson features in the core programme of the Ballarat International Foto Biennale 2011 with work from his All Dogs Shot book.
Though born in Ballarat, Australia, Donaldson is a New Zealander now residing in Hollywood. He is more known for his films (eg., Smash Palace, The World’s Fastest Indian, The Bank Job) than his still photography.

Since his first twenty years worth of negatives and prints were lost in a fire some years ago so most of the images in the exhibition would be from the last two decades.

It is hard for me to judge the work as I have not been able to see much of Donaldson's work online. I did come across a review of his book in The Lumière Reader--- New Zealand’s only online journal dedicated to film criticism and the arts review.
