Mick Jones' entry in Australasia’s Top Emerging Photographers 2021 (presented by Fujifilm), Reluctant Heroes, is a featured portfolio, and appears in the Portrait category.
"These image are part of my Reluctant Heroes project photographing veterans. I work with the families to produce these images for them as, mainly, the 'subjects' are not keen to participate," Jones says. "However, the reactions I get from these guys when I present the prints to them and their families are inspiring and humbling. Fills me with respect and pride."
