Sydney Morning Herald Photos1440

Photos1440 returns to the Library with an intimate look at key events and moments captured through the lens of Sydney Morning Herald photographers, including the Herald’s award-winning chief photographer Nick Moir and Gold Walkley winner Kate Geraghty.

From a jubilant goal celebration during the Matildas game against England at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, to a poignant moment showing observers in the public gallery when the national apology for the thalidomide tragedy was delivered in Canberra, experience a tribute to photojournalism that has the power to inspire, to educate and to form opinion.

First held in 2010, Photos1440 reflects The Sydney Morning Herald’s commitment to covering local, national, and international news.
