This kind of photography is not seen as part of the canon of Australian art photography. For some reason landscapes are excluded:
Wiofgang Sievers, Hamersley Iron, aerial of the Hamersley Ranges, [Western Australia], 1974-77, NLA
Mining has dominated Australian history, yet the art institution has turned its back on good quality photos that represent this regional part of Australia. Does that reflect the hegemony of the Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney axis?
