Frank Hurley making a film on location in Papua New Guinea ca. 1923

Hurley and Hood, two names of early "modern" photography. They were just able to capture the essence of an image.

Frank Hurley’s artistic legacy from a career spanning nearly 60 years places him among the greatest Australian photographers of the twentieth century. When invited to photograph the activities of Anglican missions in Papua in the early 1920s he saw an opportunity to photograph and film what he viewed as an exotic and savage land – and advance an already successful career. Hurley’s photos reflect both an Australian-controlled Papua – a place where government and missionaries exerted a strong influence in the areas they occupied – and a more traditional Papua. These images, together with his diaries, artifacts, and film, form a significant archive of Papua’s history. PEARLS AND SAVAGES In the early 1920s few people had the opportunity to witness what Hurley experienced. Aware of this fact, he created the film Pearls and Savages to bring a glimpse of an exotic land to the armchair traveler and generate a profit. After a successful tour of Australia Hurley took the film to the USA and the UK in 1924, and with the money raised he went on to produce two feature films. Eventually, in 1927 Hurley sold his film to a German company and most of his photos to the Australian Museum. Source: australian.museum/learn/cultures/pacific-collection/photo...
