After inheriting a Nikon F3 camera from his photographer uncle in his teens, Andrew Quilty set about casually documenting life. Later, when he was studying photography in the day, and working in a bottle shop at night, a regular took an interest in his work. He turned out to be a photo editor at the Fairfax media company; this was a time when Australia newspapers were punching above their weight on a global stage. Fate had set the wheels in motion for a life and career Quilty never could have imagined. Today, Quilty is a multi-award-winning photojournalist whose work has been published by The New York Times, BBC News and TIME Magazine - and garnered accolades worldwide. He's won a World Press Photo Contest award, a Pictures of the Year International award, a Sony World Photography award and six Walkley Awards, including the Gold Walkley, the highest honour in Australian journalism.  On a two-week assignment in 2013 to shoot the Afghani cricket team he fell in love with Afghanistan and spent the next eight years living in and documenting the wartime country and its people. He's travelled to two thirds of the country's 34 provinces and produced two books on his time there. The first ‘August in Kabul' is a novel about America's last days of occupation, and the second ‘This is Afghanistan' is a visual record designed in by Vince Frost with Wing Lau. Both books are published by The University of Melbourne - ‘This is Afghanistan' will be released this month.  Listen in as Vince and Andrew discuss; the ethics of beautifying death and tragedy, how recently media have become fair game in war zones, and the story behind his harrowing Walkely Award Winning photograph and article ‘The Man on the Operating Table'.  Buy 'This is Afghanistan' - https://www.mup.com.au/books/this-is-afghanistan-hardback See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Told through the eyes of witnesses to the fall of Kabul, Walkley award-winning journalist Andrew Quilty's debut publication offers a remarkable record of this historic moment. August in Kabul: America's Last Days in Afghanistan (Bloomsbury, 2023) is the story of how America's longest mission came to an abrupt and humiliating end, told through the eyes of Afghans whose lives have been turned upside down: a young woman who harbors dreams of a university education; a presidential staffer who works desperately to hold things together as the government collapses around him; a prisoner in the notorious Bagram Prison who suddenly finds himself free when prison guards abandon their post. Andrew Quilty was one of a handful of Western journalists who stayed in Kabul as the city fell. This is his first-hand account of those dramatic final days. Andrew Quilty's photography career began in Sydney, in the year 2000, on the day his application to a university photo elective was rejected. He quit, and set off around Australia with a surfboard and a Nikon F3 that his uncle—also a photographer—had passed down. His work in Afghanistan has been published worldwide and garnered accolades including, in 2019, a World Press Photo, a Picture of the Year International award of excellence in the category of Photographer of the Year (POYI), and prior to that, a George Polk Award, three POYI awards, a Sony World Photography award and six Walkley Awards, including the Gold Walkley, the highest honor in Australian journalism. In 2016, a selection of his work from Afghanistan was exhibited at the Visa pour L'Image Festival of Photojournalism in Perpignan, France. He has travelled to two thirds of Afghanistan's 34 provinces and continues to document the country through pictures and, increasingly, the written word. Connor Christensen is a graduate student at the University of Chicago, pursuing both an MPP at the Harris School of Public Policy and an MA at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. His work focuses on the reintegration process of veterans of the military and non-state armed groups in contexts spanning the US, Colombia, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, and beyond.

"The elite local forces that the CIA had established and operated with since the early years of the war in Afghanistan were both effective and very brutal, and were responsible for scores of civilian deaths" - Andrew Quilty, author, August in Kabul, talks to Manjula Narayan about the 10 years he spent covering the country, trying to presents facts so the reader can draw her own conclusions, death of Indian photographer Danish Siddiqui, the suicide bombing among the crowd at Kabul airport desperate to escape the Taliban, and the militia killings of Talibs in the chaos that accompanied the American withdrawal from the country.

Vedran ‘Maz' Maslic is the host of ‘The Voices Of War'. In this episode, Maz interviews Andrew Quilty. Who started his career in Sydney, then moved to New York City and eventually to Kabul, Afghanistan, after a two-week trip to photograph the Afghan cricket team turned into an odyssey now into its eighth year. He has worked in all but a handful of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, photographed for most of the world's premiere publications and won several accolades, including a World Press Photo Award, a Polk Award, several Picture of the Year International awards and the Gold Walkley, Australian journalism's highest honour. We covered many topics, including: the danger of oversimplified narratives of conflict, second-order effects of coalition operations, and the dangers of life as a war journalist.

My guest today is Andrew Quilty, an Australian photojournalist, investigative journalist, and author. Andrew is the recipient of eight Walkley Awards, including the Gold Walkley, for his work in Afghanistan, where he has been based since 2013. He joined me to discuss his recently published book, August in Kabul: America's last days in Afghanistan, which is an intimate and deeply personal account of the fall of Kabul and the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August last year. Andrew was one of a handful of foreign journalists who remained in Kabul to witness and document this event. Some of the topics we covered are: Andrew's exit from Afghanistan Reflection on the birth and message of Andrew's book ‘August in Kabul' Hedging your bets as a means of survival in Afghanistan The reality faced by everyday Afghans after the fall of Kabul Reflection on the support for the Taliban throughout Afghanistan The muddy nature of relationships across front lines Why the Afghan government collapsed so quickly on 15 August 2021 The US-Taliban agreement in Doha Impact of US military and logistical support withdrawal on the Afghan National Security Forces Government lack of legitimacy in the eye of everyday people The fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021 as observed from the ground Survivor guilt and hardships of refugees ISIS Kabul Airport attack and hell at Abbey Gate US drone strike and impact of collateral damage The reality and challenges of regime change Andrew's future If you like what you've heard, please consider liking and reviewing the show wherever you get your pods.

Multi-Walkley award-winning photojournalist Andrew Quilty has made a career out of running toward danger when everyone else is running away. He has shot some infamous scenes in Australia including the Cronulla riots and has spent years in Afghanistan documenting conflicts and most recently the Taliban takeover.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the Taliban entered Kabul on the evening of 15 August 2021, Western troops and embassy staff scrambled to flee a country of which its government had lost control. To the world, Kabul in August looked like Saigon in 1975.  Andrew Quilty was one of a handful of Western journalists who stayed as the city fell. His book, August in Kabul: America's last days in Afghanistan is a first-hand account of those dramatic final days told through the eyes of Afghans whose lives have been turned upside down.   In September 2022, Andrew sat down in front of a live audience at the Shrine of Remembrance to discuss his book with journalist Tracey Curro. Listen as Andrew reveals what life was like in Kabul and shares stories from the weeks and months after it fell. 

Australia's most decorated photographer Andrew Quilty jumps into the booth this week to discuss how you make a career doing what he's done. From his early days in the bottle shop talking to journos for advice, to documenting the Cronulla Riots first hand. How do photographers make a crust? How do WAR photographers find a home in the midst of conflict? Quilty has just published a book titled ‘August in Kabul' which details everything he saw on the ground in Afghanistan when the Taliban took control last year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is an intense one. It's with multi-Walkley Award-winning Australian photographer Andrew Quilty who has spent the past eight years living and working in the Afghanistan capital Kabul, documenting the conflict for publications around the world. We talk about the details of the decades-long occupation and go into the story of that day - one year ago - when the Taliban arrived at the gates of Kabul as the allied forces and tens of thousands of Afghans tried to flee in scenes of chaos and tragedy (which he shares in his new book August in Kabul). But, really, this conversation is more about meaning. And what makes life worthwhile when the standard accoutrements are stripped away by destruction and human ugliness? I recommend looking up Andrew's photographs as you listen to him in this episode share his very raw account of life in a war zone, his take on the morality of capturing and sharing images of humans in their worst moments, as well as his very intimate reflections on finding meaning in “homecoming”.Andrew's book, August in Kabul is out this weekScroll his photographs as you listenWe mention Sebastian Junger's Tribe… you can grab it here ....If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" page.

The cars with blown-out windscreens stood out, as did the demolished shopfronts. Things like this led photojournalist Andrew Quilty closer and closer to the heart of ground zero in Kabul, where a bomb had been detonated, following the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban.Quilty is the focus of a feature story in this Saturday's Good Weekend — “As the Taliban advanced on Kabul, Andrew Quilty landed at its airport” — and the award-winning photographer is joined in conversation by the author of that piece, Good Weekend senior writer Tim Elliott, for a chat about life in that country before, during and after the withdrawal of US troops in 2021.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A western Newfoundland man who was killed in an avalanche this month is being mourned by his family and friends. 30-year-old Richard Stewart was snowmobiling in Humber Arm South, when he was struck by sliding snow and died later from his injuries. People who were close to Stewart hope he will be remembered more for the way he lived - and not just for the tragic way he died. Andrew Quilty was a close friend.

Scott interviews Andrew Quilty, a journalist who's stayed in Kabul, about a recent article he wrote for the Intercept.

It's been two months since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan and ended a 20-year war. Journalist and photographer Andrew Quilty discusses what daily life is like for him in Kabul while Nadene Ghouri gives an insight into the international volunteer effort to help at-risk Afghans escape the new regime.

Andrew Quilty is a photographer and reporter who has lived in Kabul, Afghanistan, since 2013. In “When the Raids Came,” his article for the September issue of Harper's Magazine, Quilty follows the story of one family in rural Wardak province over nearly twenty years of war, offering a holistic view of the U.S. military's impact. Quilty joins Harper's web editor Violet Lucca to survey Afghanistan's transition to Taliban control; its media ecosystem; the cultural factors that are often ignored by outside analysts; and the role that the international community—not just the U.S. military—has played in reshaping the country and fostering rampant corruption. Read Quilty's story: https://harpers.org/archive/2021/09/when-the-raids-came-afghanistan-war-toll-on-one-afghan-family/ This episode was produced by Violet Lucca and Andrew Blevins.

The Taliban have taken over Afghanistan, forcing the U.S.-backed Afghan government out. This week on Intercepted: Intercept reporter Murtaza Hussain guides us through how the two-decade-long U.S. War in Afghanistan has concluded. With the U.S. having suffered what appears to be a stunning defeat, national security editor for The Intercept Vanessa Gezari, who also reported from Afghanistan for years after the U.S. war began, breaks down the historical trajectory that led to this moment. In the weeks leading up to the Taliban takeover, lines at the country's only passport office grew longer as fears of instability and violence increased. Andrew Quilty, a photographer and journalist based in Kabul, talked to people at the passport office who were trying to leave. He later describes scenes from the country, only a day after it fell to the Taliban. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Comment expliquer le retour aussi rapide des talibans après le retrait des troupes américaines annoncé par Joe Biden en avril ? Qui sont les talibans ? Comment ont-ils préparé cette offensive depuis le Pakistan ? Jacques Follorou, journaliste au Monde, nous expliquait le 15 juin dernier dans un épisode de « L'Heure du Monde » la menace que représentait alors les talibans et les failles de l'après-guerre qui leur a permis de prospérer dans le sud du pays. Alors qu'ils ont désormais reconquis le pouvoir, nous rediffusons cet épisode.Photographie visuel : Andrew Quilty pour Le Monde.

My guest today is one of Australia's most-prominent photo/investigative journalists, Andrew Quilty. Andrew started his career in Sydney, then moved to New York City and eventually to Kabul, Afghanistan, after a two-week trip to photograph the Afghan cricket team turned into an odyssey now into its eighth year. He has worked in all but a handful of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, photographed for most of the world's premiere publications and won several accolades, including a World Press Photo Award, a Polk Award, several Picture of the Year International awards and the Gold Walkley, Australian journalism's highest honour.  More recently, Andrew has focussed on the written word. His 18-month investigation into a CIA-led Afghan militia, responsible for several massacres in 2019, for The Intercept, was recently the recipient of an Overseas Press Club of America Award. His most recent piece published in the April edition of The Monthly is titled, ‘The Worst form of Defence: New revelations of Australian war crimes in Afghanistan', which is an investigation into alleged war crimes by Australian special forces in Uruzgan. This, of course, is separate to the 'Afghanistan Enquiry' released in Nov last year. We covered many topics, including: Andrew's entry into photography The craft of photography The pull of Afghanistan  ‘Seeing' the people of Afghanistan Danger of oversimplified narratives of conflict Second-order effects of coalition operations Foreigner's (lack of) understanding of Afghanistan Background to his award-winning photo “The Man on the Operating Table” Andrew's shift to the written word The dangers of life as a war journalist Andrew's views on the future of Afghanistan You can see some of Andrew's photographs via his webpage here, read Andrew's article 'The CIA's Afghan Death Squads' here, and his article ‘The Worst form of Defence', here.  For recent updates on the situation in Afghanistan, you can follow Andrew on Twitter (@andrewquilty).

Laura Tingle reports from Canberra on COVID and carparks, Bilal Sarway and Andrew Quilty on the Taliban taking rural Afghanistan almost unopposed and the current crisis in the Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan.

The release of the Brereton Report into the behaviour of the Special Forces in Afghanistan shocked Australia with 38 deaths under investigation as possible war crimes. But it was no shock to the people of Uruzgan Province who had learnt to fear the Australian soldiers. Freelance reporter and photographer Andrew Quilty interviewed just some of the Afghans who had family members killed by Australian soldiers.

On COI #59, Kyle Anzalone discusses several recent news stories. A new study finds US sonar tests are killing whales in the Pacific. The sonar is for detecting submarines but it likely causing marine life to become beached and die. Several Senators in Guam are trying to prevent the US from continuing the sonar activities. Trump's designation of the Houthi as a terror group will severely limit the amount of remittance sent to the county. The World Bank believes 10% of people in Yemen rely on money sent from people in other countries. The sanctions will prevent money transfers to Yemen. The UN warns the country is on the brink of the world's worst crisis in 40 years.

Scott interviews journalist Andrew Quilty about his recent piece for the Intercept, which details the horrific violence being carried out in Afghanistan by U.S.-backed militia groups. In several recent attacks, these “death squads” have raided religious boarding schools known as madrassas, and murdered dozens of the boys who studied there. Although these madrassas are sometimes thought to be Taliban recruiting grounds, Quilty explains that this kind of violence only drives regular Afghans closer to the Taliban. Quilty and Scott expect that night raids, drone strikes and support for anti-Taliban militant groups will continue under the Biden administration, just as they ramped up under Obama and increased even further under Trump. Sadly, says Quilty, these indirect tactics tend to be politically popular in America, since their enormous costs are hidden from voters at home.

ABC's The Book Club presenter Jennifer Byrne hosts this exceptional exchange as cousins, Archibald award-winning painter Ben Quilty, and Gold Walkley Award-winning photojournalist Andrew Quilty, reflect on their time in Afghanistan and discuss the careful skill of recording war through images.

Andrew Quilty has covered Afghanistan since late 2013, when he arrived to work as a photojournalist just as NATO troops were beginning to withdraw.  In the four years since, he has captured the ongoing conflict there with stunning photography that documents the trauma of a 40 year war and the impact of extremist groups and foreign forces in the country. His work won him the 2016 Gold Walkley for Excellence in Australian journalism. 

Andrew Quilty is an Australian freelance photographer who has been based in Afghanistan since late 2013. His clients include The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Time and Harper’s. In 2016, he won a George Polk Award for his coverage of a deadly U.S. airstrike on a Doctors Without Borders clinic in the northern Afghan city of Kunduz. He has also been named Australia’s freelance journalist of the year. Follow him on Instagram @andrewquilty. “The more this conflict spirals downhill, it makes me think more and more carefully about how worthwhile taking risks to document it is.”

FP’s Dan De Luce talks to Sune Rasmussen and Andrew Quilty about reporting from Helmand Province, where the fighting has worsened and the Taliban is gaining ground.

FP's Rebecca Frankel and Dan De Luce talk to photojournalist Andrew Quilty about what it was like covering the aftermath of the tragic U.S. airstrike on the ground in Afghanistan.

Photojournalist Andrew Quilty likes to quote his mate and photographic mentor Dean Sewell as saying “There are only two types of photographer: Those who draw attention to their subject, and those who draw attention to themselves.” And, while behind the lens he keeps to that, Andrew has done so much lately to draw so much well deserved attention to himself. He came to fame covering the Cronulla Riots in 2005, covered Hurricane Sandy from the front lines in 2012 using Instagram and has spent the last two years in and out of Afghanistan. He topped it all a few weeks back by winning the Nikon-Walkley photo of the year. He came on Out of the Box to help us round out the year for our final show of 2014. We'll be back in early January 2015. Full playlist at http://fbiradio.com/programs/out-of-the-box/2014-12-18/

Photographic departments around the world are feeling the squeeze as news organisations cut costs and jobs. In an era of Twitpix and stock-image slideshows, professional photographers face competition from every smartphone and constant challenges to their copyright. But there’s no substitute for a professional photographer’s skill, timing and composition – and a still photograph can capture stories and intimacy beyond any other medium. There are still opportunities for photojournalists, and new models for supporting their work – and certainly no shortage of stories and moments to be captured around the world. Joining Moderator Anne Davies, senior investigative journalist at the Sydney Morning Herald are: Nick Moir, staff photographer for SMH. David Dare Parker, Walkley award winning free-lance photographer. Craig Greenhill, photojournalist at News Limited and multimedia specialist. Andrew Quilty, Walkley winner of the young Australian photojournalist of the year and freelance photographer.
