Stephen Dupont is an Australian artist who works with photography and documentary film. He is mostly committed to long term personal projects. Born in Sydney in 1967, he grew up in the western suburbs and Southern Highlands under tough social conditions and displacement, with social worker parents, who were full-time carers of state wards. Stephen is recognised around the world for his concerned photography on the human condition, war and climate. His images have received international acclaim for their artistic integrity and valuable insight into the people, culture and communities that  are fast disappearing from our world. He has won many international awards for his photography and his films including a double Finalist for the prestigious Rory Peck Awards, an Australian Walkley and Logie for his television current affairs reports. In 2010 he was awarded the Robert Gardner Fellowship from Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology.
