Margaret Waller

I have worked as a photographer and educator for 25 years in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia. My images have appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek, The Independent UK, The Sun Herald (Sydney) and regular contributor to the Law Society of NSW Journal for 5 years. Other clients included aid agencies and United Nations organisations. Humanitarian concerns for a fairer distribution of the world’s resources motivate my work in editorial and documentary genres.

Throughout my career, I have taught in photography and photojournalism education. My role as educator is informed by a belief that photography students are best served by an education that incorporates both critical thinking and technological crafts.

Over 18 years in southern Africa, I have published three photographic training manuals specifically addressing the need for local, relevant and appropriate training material for young adult learners.The most recent publication, "A bigger Picture: A Training manual for Photojournalists in Southern Africa" (Juta 2000) was part of a Masters of Arts in Fine Arts from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
