AIPP Reflections Retired Servicemen
“Reflections” was a national campaign run by members of the AIPP –Australian Institute of Professional Photography - to photograph all of the remaining Veterans of WWII to create a significant archive for the nation that reflects a sensitive portrayal of their elderly state and provide a cognisant comparison to the wartime images of young active men and women. All photographers donated their time towards the project. Having successfully made contact with over 6000 veterans since the start of April 2015, the images are now donated to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

East Timorese Crisis 2006
The East Timorese crisis began as a conflict between elements of the military of East Timor over discrimination within the military, and expanded to a coup attempt and general violence throughout the country, centred in the capital Dili. The crisis prompted a military intervention by several other countries and led to the resignation of the Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri.
East Timorese Crisis 2006
Alfredo Reinado was a major in the military of Timor-Leste. He deserted them on 4 May 2006 to join approximately 600 former soldiers who had been sacked in March 2006 sparking the 2006 East Timor crisis. Reinado was one of the leaders of the rebel soldiers, and the highestranking deserter. After escaping prison in late 2006 he fled to the mountains of Timor hiding from the Australian Federal Police and SAS soldiers. In this exclusive photo and interview for The Australian Newspaper we tracked his hiding place down and told his story. He was later shot and killed by local forces in 2008.
