Rex Dupain

Rex Dupain discovered photography at a young age. He later paused it to study painting in the 1970s at the National Art School, where he also taught drawing and painting.

In 1992, he completed a Master of Fine Arts (Painting) at the University of New South Wales and built a successful career as a painter.

In the mid-1990s, Rex returned to photography and developed a strong body of work.

His photographs have been exhibited across Australia and internationally, including a show in Paris in 2010.

His work is held in major collections such as the Australian Museum and the National Portrait Gallery. It is also collected privately by notable figures including Sir Elton John, Edmund Capon, and Baz Luhrmann.

Rex has published several photography books, including Bondi to Broken Hill, Australian Images, Inside Sydney, and The Colour of Bondi.
