Legendary Australian photojournalist Michael Coyne shares wild frontline stories—from Tiananmen to the Iran–Iraq war—plus ethical lines he refused to cross, how Black Star worked, and why he switched to Fujifilm after a pocket X100 saved a job. We unpack his decade-long book, Village: Hearing the Grass Grow, documenting climate migration and disappearing languages, and dive into practical craft: working with light, earning trust, shooting B&W, and building projects that matter. Inspiring, raw, and unforgettable.
