The exhibition, which was on display in Sydney between April and August 2023, is presented by pioneering production company, Sold Out, in partnership with Milan-based agency for internationally-renowned photographers, Sudest57; and leading global live-entertainment discovery platform, Fever and includes the legendary 1984 portrait of the Afghan Girl, Sharbat Gula which was famously featured on the cover of National Geographic magazine. The showing also includes other very well-known pictures he captured throughout his forty years of profession, including a selection of his Australian images, as well as his most recent work. The exhibition presents a fascinating collection of images captured in some of the most beautiful and harrowing parts of the world – from Afghanistan to India, Southeast Asia to Africa, Cuba to the United States and Brazil to Italy.
