Mervyn Bishop (born 1945) is an Australian news and documentary photographer. Joining the Sydney Morning Herald as a cadet in 1962〔Guillatt (2004) p. 30〕〔NGA Retake Artist Biography (1998)〕 or 1963,〔Winkler (2003)〕 he was the first Aboriginal Australian to work on a metropolitan daily newspaper and one of the first Aboriginal Australians to become a professional photographer.〔 In 1971, four years after completing his cadetship, he was named Australian Press Photographer of the Year.〔〔 He has continued to work as a photographer and lecturer. Bishop is a member of the Murri people. ==Early life== Bishop was born in Brewarrina in north-west NSW. His father, "Minty" Bishop, had been a soldier and shearer, and was himself born to an Aboriginal mother and a Punjabi Indian father. In 1950, "Minty" gained an "official exemption certificate which permitted 'more advanced' Aborigines to live apart from mission blackfellas in post-war Australia".〔 This enabled the family to live among "ordinary" people in Brewarrina. The catch to this certificate was that the exempt Aborigines were expected to "sever their ties with their old culture".〔 By high school he had started "chronicling the family with a camera - first his mother's Kodak 620 and, then a 35mm Japanese camera he bought for ₤15".〔Guillatt (2004) p. 31〕 He moved to Dubbo when he was 14 to finish his high school at the Dubbo High School. His wife, Elizabeth, died of cancer in 1991, and he was left to care for their teenage son, Tim, and six-year-old daughter, Rosemary.〔Guillatt (2004) p. 32〕
