About the Author
Born in England in 1954, Robert Billington moved to Australia from the U.K. at the age of 18 with a Nikon F2 Camera as a method of recording his new life. In 1994, Robert won Australian Photographer of the Year by the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP). He then continued on to win over 100 medals in both Australia and England, winning the aforementioned prestigious Hasselblad Masters Award twice (1988, 1992). His images were collected by the Australian National Gallery, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Queensland Art Gallery. In 2000 and 2001, the Museum of Sydney recognized his unique photographs with two exhibitions. Recently Robert exhibited with Tourism Australia in Hong Kong and South East Asia, Sydney Life Exhibition, Hyde Park with his image, The Last Tanners of Sydney and was the feature artist and representative for Sydney in a French television weekly show called Thalassa. Other recent achievements include being selected for the worldwide M.I.L.K exhibition.
