Seven different Australian photographers, each with a significant body of work and each with a different photographic style: Emmanuel Santos is an art and documentary photographer.
Born on an island in the Philippines, Emmanuel was a photographer for the UN there when he met and married an Australian. He migrated to Australia, finding an affinity in East St Kilda with the Orthodox Jewish community (about whom he authored the book Observances). He subsequently produced another book photographing the Jewish diaspora throughout the world (Israel; one land, one people, one dream). He has had his art photography exhibited throughout the world, and considers photography to be ‘learning the language of light.
