Philip Quirk

Philip Quirk was born in Melbourne, Australia on 11 November 1948 to Valentine Quirk, a communications engineer, and mother Phyl.{{Cite web|url=https://nla.gov.au/nla.party-538286|title=Quirk, Philip (1948-) - People and organisations|website=Trove|language=en|access-date=2020-02-13}} He grew up with a younger sister and older brother in East St Kilda & Caulfield and attended St Kilda Christian Brothers College where he completed Matriculation before briefly studying Business at RMIT.

From the age of 14, he had been a keen surfer around Torquay. However, in a 1969 car accident, he suffered a severely broken arm. Over the year that it took to recover, he started to photograph his surfer friends with a 35mm Pentax Spotmatic and telephoto 500mm F5.5 Takumar lens. Through a friend, Quirk met the Melbourne fashion photographer and stylist couple Bruno & Hazel Benini, who gave him access to their darkroom in which to process his surfing shots. His first published photograph was in the Melbourne Herald for an article on Bells Beach by Victorian surf champion Rod Brooks.

In 1970, Bruno Benini encouraged him to enter Ilford Australia's national competition, the 'Age of Aquarius', for a return trip to London. He was short listed in the final ten, though then disqualified as an amateur. He went on to assist Benini, who arranged a meeting for him with the contest winner Paul Cox,'UK trip for photo winner', in The Age, Sat, 19 September 1970, p.5 who was lecturer in photography at Prahran College of Advanced Education. With his parents' blessing, Quirk enrolled to study there 1971-3 under Gordon De L’Isle, Athol Shmith and Cox,{{Citation | author1=Buckrich, Judith Raphael | author2=Buckrich, J | author3=Prahran Mechanics' Institute | title=Design for living : a history of 'Prahran Tech' | page=164 | date=2007 | publisher=Prahran Mechanics' Institute Press | isbn=978-0-9756000-8-5 }} while continuing as Benini's assistant until 1974.

On graduation, Quirk worked as a photographer for the Southern Cross Newspaper Group. He was also a lecturer at Gordon Institute of Technology (now Deakin University) and at Photography Studies College before moving to Sydney in 1976 to start a freelance photojournalism practice. There, he also taught part-time at Sydney College of the Arts and later was a foundation lecturer at the Australian Centre for Photography. With Grenville Turner and Mark Lang, Quirk worked at a Surry Hills studio run by Anthony Browell & Graham McCarter, before founding the Wildlight Agency. In 1982, he traveled to Wales to research and photograph for a book on the eisteddfod there and in Australia.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article126895892 |title=LETTERS to the Editor |newspaper=The Canberra Times |location=Australian Capital Territory, Australia |date=15 May 1982 |access-date=15 February 2020 |page=2 |via=Trove }}

Rick Smolan's A Day in the Life of Australia project through 1981-2,{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article55190629|title=A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AUSTRALIA|date=18 November 1981|newspaper=The Australian Women's Weekly|access-date=15 February 2020|location=Australia|page=1 (A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AUSTRALIA)|via=Trove}}{{Citation|author1=Park, Andy|title=A day in the life of Australia|date=1981|publisher=A Day in the life of Australia Pty Ltd|isbn=978-0-9594244-0-9|author2=Smolan, Rick}} was a catalyst for the origins of Wildlight Photo Agency. Carolyn Johns{{Cite web|url=http://www.carolynjohnsphotography.com/about|title=Carolyn Johns biography|website=Carolyn Johns|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-16}} & Philip Quirk were photographers for the project, Christina De Water a volunteer. During the project, they met and socialised with influential international photographers, many of whom were attached to agencies. Later reencountering some who returned on their way to shoot assignments, they became inspired to establish their own, believing an Australian agency could deliver a better conduit to international magazines and publishers for Australian imagery. In 1984, they met with Oliver Strewe{{Citation | author1=Swinburne Graphic Design | author2=Strewe, Oliver, 1950- | title=Reading rewards: Jenny Kee : Jenny Kee is not only one of Australia's great fashion designers, she is also an avid reader | date=1900 | url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/230166491 | accessdate=16 February 2020 }} about forming such a cooperative. In 1985, Wildlight Photo Agency opened at 165 Hastings Parade Bondi Beach where they stayed for 10 years. Then they moved to offices at 87 Gloucester Street, The Rocks, and finally to Suite 14, 16 Charles St., Redfern.{{Citation|author1=Poehner, Donna|title=2009 photographer's market : where & how to sell your photographs|date=2008|publisher=Writer's Digest; Newton Abbot : David & Charles [distributor]|isbn=978-1-58297-546-7|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/2009photographer00writ}}

From 1990–2003, Quirk was Wildlight's managing director. As part of the agency’s activities between 1997 and 2001, he managed and published Australian Faces & Places Diary, a showcase of Australian reportage & documentary photography of exclusively black-and-white imagery printed in warm duo-tone.{{cite news | title=Mono Log | newspaper=The Age | date=6 December 1997 | page=289}} The agency, as a photographers' cooperative, was wound up on 13 December 2013, but the image collection is maintained by Andrew Stephenson.

Quirk's photographs were published widely, through Wildlight and freelance, in numerous books, newspapersThe Age, Saturday, 30 March 1985 and magazinesYvette Steinhauer, 'Click go the shutters,' in The Age Good Weekend22 July 1988, p.84–90 including The Sunday Times Magazine, The Observer Magazine (UK), Stern, Der Spiegel, GEO, Time, Newsweek and National Geographic

Since 1972, Quirk has continually exhibited his early street photography,{{Cite web|url=https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/89.1981/|title=Untitled (circus)|last=Quirk|first=Philip|date=1978|website=Art Gallery of New South Wales|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-02-16|first9=Contact}} mature-period landscapes, social documentaries of country people, and portraits of Australian personalities, including Sidney Nolan and Brett Whiteley. He is represented by Josef Lebovic Gallery in Kensington,{{Cite web|url=https://www.joseflebovicgallery.com/advSearchResults.php?action=search&orderBy=relevance&category_id=0&keywordsField=Philip+Quirk|title=Results for: Keywords: Philip Quirk|last=www.bibliopolis.com|website=Josef Lebovic Gallery|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-13}} and previously by Sydney's Macquarie Galleries before their cessation.

Quirk's work has been secured for most major national public collections, and he was thus represented in On the Edge: Australian Photographers of the Seventies, at San Diego Museum of Art, California in 1995. The photographs drawn from the Philip Morris collection at the National Gallery of Australia. Quirk's imagery of the period often contains wry visual commentary on Australian lifestyles,{{Cite web|url=https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/33.1981/|title=The Lone Ranger|last=Quirk|first=Philip|date=1973|website=Art Gallery of New South Wales|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-02-16}} especially its beach culture.{{Cite web|url=https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/90.1981/|title=Untitled (Sunbaker, Bondi)|last=Quirk|first=Philip|date=1980|website=Art Gallery of New South Wales|archive-url=|archive-date=}}

In order to represent the expansive and often flat Australian landscape,{{Cite web|url=https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/298.1987/|title=Nocundra Hotel near Jackson, Queensland, printed 1985|last=Quirk|first=Philip|date=1984|website=www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-02-16}} Quirk advanced the use of the panorama. Before 1979, he used a Hasselblad to create panoramas (mostly of landscape subjects) for David Beal's Audience Motivation, a pioneering audio-visual company based in Paddington.{{Cite web|url=http://ampicturelibrary.ifp3.com/|title=Australia and South East Asia by David Beal and friends|website=AM Picture Library|language=en|access-date=2020-02-16}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.meetingsevents.com.au/members/pdfs/History_of_Meetings_Industry.PDF|title=TwentyYears of Talking: A history of the meetings industry in Australia|last=Lloyd|first=Pamela|date=October 1997|website=Meetings Industry Association of Australia|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}}{{Citation | author1=Beal, David | title=Ōsutoraria imēji = Australian image | date=1985 | publisher=Audience Motivation | isbn=978-0-9589862-0-5 }} The precisely cut medium-format colour transparencies were overlapped so that no line was visible on screen. However, by the mid 1990s, video projection made slide projection redundant. Beal imported the first 6x17 cm camera, the Linhof Technorama 617 into the country and Quirk adopted it in 1981, using a Schneider Super Angulon 90mm f5.6 wide-angle lens. Other Wildlight photographers, Grenville Turner and Mark Lang, also found the camera useful for imagery of outback Australia in which the Agency specialised, before the 6x17 cm format became commonplace, and panoramas clichés of domestic décor.Morris, M. (2006). Panorama: the live, the dead and the living. In Identity anecdotes: Translation and media culture (pp. 40-79). London: SAGE Publications Ltd.

Senior Australian photographer Max Dupain highlights Quirk's work in his review of a landmark survey at the Albury Regional Gallery;

{{blockquote|Phillip Quirk observes life and it offshoots with a keen eye for elements that seem to fall into exact places which he endows with a twist of wry humour (City to Surf). Look at the interaction of both horses' legs in The Drought. The symmetry is so well-timed and composed"Max Dupain, "Pictures: it's the result that matters", The Sydney Morning Herald, Tue, Oct 18, 1983, p.10}}

Critic Anne Latrielle in The AgeAnne Latrielle, ’Cuttings’, 20 Jun 1989, p.24 praised his representations of Australian flora in a show at The Lighthouse Gallery, Prahran;

{{blockquote|"Philip Quirk shows the city-dweller stunning aspects of the Australian landscape, from the pastoral calm of river redgums on the Murray River at Barmah to the brooding stillness of alpine forms under snow. Despite two decades of degradation the remaining scenic resources of our country are awe-inspiring. No one interested in our native flora should miss this show."}}

In her summation of the year 1989 in photography, Beatrice Faust singled out Quirk's wilderness imagery in that exhibition as "exquisitely coloured and [using] natural light in a uniquely creative way."Beatrice Faust, ‘A year of sapphires and garlic,’ in The Age, Friday, 5 Jan 1990 p.10 and earlier elaborated;

{{blockquote|"Light is the key to Quirk’s fascination. The true subject of his work is not just the furnishings of the landscape but the space and light that gives it life. He uses delicate bounce light from snow to bring out the extraordinarily subtle colours in rocks that most of us would see as black, or catches the horizontal light of sunrise and sunset to bring out the colour latent in grass and foliage."Beatrice Faust, ‘Quirk gets national heritage in focus,’ in The Age, Monday Jun 26, 1989, p.14}}

At the end of 2003, after eighteen years, Quirk stood down as the managing director of Wildlight Photo Agency. He is presently living in Sydney and archiving its output. Since his retirement from the agency, Quirk has undertaken a series of speaking engagements, including the 2003 David Moore Lecture, 2004 Walkley Forum, and the gallery floor talks and presentations to Media Arts students.

In 2005, Quirk was commissioned by the NSW Farmers Association to make a series of portraits of farming families and their working life in 13 regions of New South Wales.{{Cite web |last=Australian Wool Innovation Limited |date=2022 |title=Australian Wool Innovation Limited Performance Report 2021/2022 |url=https://www.wool.com/globalassets/wool/about-awi/how-we-consult/measuring-performance/accordion/2021-22-performance-report.pdf |access-date=2 April 2023 |website=Australian Wool Innovation Limited}} He followed that with a project during the continuing drought in 2006 in Hay. This broader series documented the landscape, arable farming, and the natural environment with portraits to illustrate the subjects’ relationships with the land, accompanied with text recording their concerns over drought and environmental degradation caused by reduced water flows in the two major river systems in the district.{{Cite news |last=Barlow |first=Genevieve |date=23 April 2007 |title=On the record |work=The Age |url=https://www.theage.com.au/technology/on-the-record-20070423-ge4q13.html |access-date=2 April 2023}}

Amidst his professional work, Quirk continued his teaching activities and was Chairman for Australia and NZ of the World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass 1998 - 2013.{{Cite web |last=jamesmmcardle |date=2023-12-15 |title=The Alumni: Phil Quirk |url=https://prahranlegacy.org/2023/12/15/the-alumni-phil-quirk/ |access-date=2024-04-20 |website=Prahran Photography |language=en}} The event was held in the Netherlands annually and 12 photographers under 31 years of age from around the world are selected to attend. The objective of this competitive award is to advance their professional development.{{Cite web |title=Joop Swart Masterclass {{!}} World Press Photo |url=https://www.worldpressphoto.org/education/programs/joop-swart-masterclass |access-date=2024-04-20 |website=www.worldpressphoto.org}} Australian recipients of this award in 2010 included Trent Parke, Jesse Marlow and Adam Ferguson.{{Cite web |title=Joop Swart Masterclass alumni {{!}} World Press Photo |url=https://www.worldpressphoto.org/education/programs/joop-swart-masterclass/alumni |access-date=2024-04-20 |website=www.worldpressphoto.org}}

Quirk has won industry awards and government grants for his projects which have included a commission from the organisation 'Beyond Empathy' which uses arts intervention to address the deficits experienced by disadvantaged individuals and communities.{{Cite web |title=Philip Quirk - Philip Quirk Photographer {{!}} LinkedIn |url=https://au.linkedin.com/in/philip-quirk-4549b913 |access-date=2024-04-20 |website=au.linkedin.com |language=en}} For them, over 2006/7 Quirk taught and work-shopped photographic portraiture in two communities in New South Wales at Moree and Armidale. These workshops were aimed at young mothers, many of them teenagers, and to male teenagers who were often in trouble with the law. He also made portraits of individuals in the groups.

In advancing his own education, during 2009–2011 Quirk undertook a master's degree by Research, COFA, University of New South Wales.

Quirk has been active in representing his industry, and was spokesperson for the Society of Advertising, Commercial and Magazine Photographers (ACMP) on copyright issues (1998 - 2004); Chairman of Judges, ACMP Photographer Collection Melbourne in 2000; and judge for the Nikon Walkley Foundation Photographic Awards in 2008.
