British photojournalist Tim Page was born in 1944 and left England at 17 to travel across Europe and the Middle East en route to India and Nepal. He found himself in Laos at the time of the civil war and ended up working as a stringer for wire service United Press International. From there he moved on to Saigon where he covered the Vietnam War for the next five years working largely on assignment for Time-Life, Upi, Paris Match and Associated Press. He also found time to cover the Six Day War in the Middle East in 1967. The role of war-photographer suited Tim’s craving for danger and excitement. He became an iconic photographer of the Vietnam War and his pictures were the visual inspiration for many films of the period. The photojournalist played by Dennis Hopper in Francis Ford Coppola’s seminal 1979 movie Apocalypse Now was based on Tim.The Vietnam War was the first and last war where there was no censorship, the military actively encouraged press involvement and Tim went everywhere, covering everything. He was wounded four times, once by friendly fire and on the last ocassion when he jumped out of a helicopter to help wounded personnel and the person in front of him stepped on a landmine, sending a large piece of shrapnel into Tim’s brain. He was pronounced DOA at the hospital. He required extensive neuro-surgery and spent most of the seventies in recovery.It was while he was recovering in hospital in spring 1970 that he learnt that his best friend and fellow photographer Sean Flynn, son of Hollywood actor Errol, had gone missing in Cambodia. Throughout the 70’s and 80’s Tim’s abiding obsession was to discover the fate and final resting place of his friend and to erect a memorial to all those in the media that were either killed or went missing in the war. This led him to found the IndoChina Media Memorial Foundation and was the genesis for the book Requiem.  With his friend Horst Faas, photo editor for Associated Press and double Pulitzer Prize winner, Tim co-edited the book and commemorated the work of all the dead and the missing, from all nations, who were lost in the thirty-year struggle for liberation. Requiem the exhibition is now on permanent display at the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City.Tim spent 5 months in 2009 as the Photographic Peace Ambassador for the UN in Afghanistan and is the recipient of many awards. He has been the subject of many documentaries, two films and is the author of ten books, including a yet to be released hand-made publication entitled Nam Contact, produced by recent Small Voice guest Stephen Dupont, and available soon in a limited edititon of nine copies. In 2010 Tim was named one of the '100 Most Influential Photographers Of All Time' by Professional Photographer magazine. Tim now lives in Brisbane, Australia.  On episode 138, Tim discusses, among other things:How he fell into photographyStrengths and weaknessesThe importance of the darkroomThe lack of outlets for photojournalism todayHaving a ‘palette of film’Being part of a golden age of photojournalismWhy he kept going back to Vietnam after numerous injuriesBeing mentored Larry BurrowsSpending the 70’s taking a lot of LSDGoing back as catharsis in the 80’sHis obsession with trying to find out what happened to his friend Sean FlynnReferenced:Philip Jones GriffithDon McCullinNick UtHorst FaasAdam FergusonEddie AdamsHenri HuetErnie PyleLarry BurrowsNeil DavisKyōichi SawadaWebsite | Instagram | Facebook“I got extremely lucky at the very beginning. I got offered a gig. Go straight to Saigon, don’t pass GO, don’t collect the $200. It was kind of like a perfect Monopoly board move. If youre a 20 year old kid and somebody says go to Saigon and take pictues and have money… it’s bigger than Jesus.”

Stephen Dupont is a conflict photojournalist from Australia.For thirty years he’s travelled the world photographing people, places and cultures at their most beautiful, their most vulnerable, and often their most violent.Stephen is a rare breed of person, the kind that willingly forges forward into a conflict zone, hoping to get the right shot that will tell the story of those in side the conflict so that those on the outside world may bear witness to it and maybe do something to change it. As you’d imagine, Stephen has seen and documented moments of humans being their most horrendous to each other. From witnessing American Soldiers burning the bodies of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan - a photograph that changed the rules of engagement around the world - to being blown up in a suicide bombing that killed fifteen people - Stephen has seen and documented and lived and breathed and smelled the horrors of humanity, and he’s lived to talk about it. To share what he’s seen. Stephen is fascinating to talk to, and if your’e into photography you can catch him at Aperture Australia, the largest photography conference in Southern Hemisphere is set to return to Sydney International Convention Centre (ICC) in Darling Harbour, Sydney on the weekend of 22-23 June - more details at apertureaustralia.com.auIf you like what you hear, you can let him know on IG - @stephenmdupont, but for now come to my apartment for a cup of coffee with a truly fantastic Australian, Stephen Dupont.***A note! I get confused in this episode and mistakenly said that photographer Bob King had passed away.He's thankfully very much alive!I got confused - Bob asked me about a photo I took of him and another shooter who did pass away for the funeral programme and in the moment I got the names confused.
