Echoing 19th-century photography, Rod McNicol's portraits give us a chance to look quietly at the human condition.
Australian photographer Rod McNicol has consistently analysed the passing of time through the evidence of the photographic portrait. At once confronting and tender, McNicol’s portrait photographs are bold and intimate.
Christopher Chapman discusses Rod McNicol's photographic portrait series Newcomers to my village.
