Celebrating a Decade of Documentary Photography

Born in a Bondi living room in 1999 when a group of friends - Michael Amendolia, David Dare Parker, Stephen Dupont and Jack Picone - took turns to show their latest work, Reportage has grown to become Australia's leading showcase of photojournalism and documentary photography.

Reportage is one of the few forums in which photographers can exhibit images in an extended format offering greater insight and depth of subject.

It is an opportunity to view images previously unseen.

Reportage aims to share, inform and inspire the community with wonderful photographic narratives taken by Australian and international photographers.

Reportage provides an opportunity to keep the camaraderie of the photojournalist community alive and is a forum for ideas to be expressed and exchanged.

Free to enter and open to international professional photographers and students of photography.
