Paul Cox (1940–2016) moved to Melbourne from the Netherlands in 1965. Upon arrival he quickly established himself as a widely exhibited, award winning photographer. He taught photography and cinematography from 1968 to 1983 at Prahran Technical College and influenced the work of young photographers at the time, including Carol Jerrems. He travelled widely during the 1960s and 1970s, particularly through Asia and the Pacific, and exhibited his work in Australia and overseas. While initially focussing on still photography, Cox’s interest in filmmaking grew stronger and he become a significant Australian film director.
