Sometimes, a story just clicks
When a story comes to life News is the first draft of history. And Australian Associated Press is very proud to say it is on the frontline quite often providing the first lines of that first draft to all news media in this country.
Australian Associated Press is also very proud to have attracted some of the world’s best photographic work through the numerous agency partnerships. Together the image talent pool seems boundless.
Breaking news runs thick through our veins and even our most hardened reporters know that it’s the image – that moment – that brings the story to life.
AAP One, the new multimedia website of Australia’s national news agency carries an enviable body of work that backs up day after day, story after story, event after event.
The expression, the light, the movement: frozen in time. The picture really does tell a thousand words.
Thousands upon thousands stream in as news develops from every corner of the globe.
And AAP has a rich and proud tradition in news photography, telling the story of Australia and Australians be it on our own shores or abroad. Our photographers are very good at what they do. Their work carries a high level of responsibility and trust and as news professionals they have earned a high level of respect from their subjects and their peers.
Telling the story of our images can never do them justice. Just browse and take a journey through the life of story … one click at a time.
