From New York to Kabul, photojournalist Adam Ferguson made a career documenting other people’s countries. It led him back home, to capture a side of contemporary Australia you won’t see in Crocodile Dundee.
When Ferguson started taking portraits around Australia in 2013, people would occasionally ask him where he was from. He grew up in Dubbo, but his years as a US-based photojournalist for the New Yorker, Time, National Geographic and the New York Times had apparently sanded the strine from his accent. He had been asking himself similar kinds of questions – about his place in the world, and the stories his camera captured.
