  • Australian Dictionary of Biography (online) 3 March 2022: (James Francis (Frank) Hurley (1885-1962), adventurer, photographer and film maker, was born on 15 October 1885 at Glebe, Sydney. In 1905 he joined Harry Cave in a postcard business in Sydney and began to earn a reputation for the high technical quality of his work and for the extravagant risks he took to secure sensational images. From 1911 to 1913 he was with Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expedition, and joined later expeditions including Shackleton's. In August 1914 Hurley joined the Australian Imperial Force as official photographer; his photographs were regarded as extraordinary, sometimes contentious, and eventually he resigned that role. After the war he took up motion photography, and made an expedition to the Torres Strait and Papua, where he clashed with the Australian administration. He joined Mawson again on his Antarctic expedition of 1929. After World War II his work attracxted less attention; he concentrated on still photography and publishing books. He died at home at Collaroy Plateau on 16 January 1962.) https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/hurley-james-francis-frank-6774
