Research
Dr Hulbert’s research interests investigate the artistic and cultural influence of contemporary photographic materials, technology and processes, on the photographing of the Australian landscape. Recognising that our relationship with the land is predicated on myths and legends, his research focuses on the dominance of stories on the ‘outback’ as the central theme in the determination of our cultural perception of land and environment.
