Three books have been published by Chapter & Verse Publishers since 1999.  The images were sourced from the exhibition archive and collated into themes of beaches, Sydney and Australians.  They include some of his best known images as well as others never before seen by the public.

Dupain's Sydney - Dupain began photographing Sydney in the late 1930s and continued throughout the following 50 years to capture the changing face of the city.  A book of Sydney photographs was a long-held ambition and he was working on a selection of photographs for such a publication until just before he died.  Dupain's Sydney is a superb book of Sydney places and people from the 1930s to the 1960s. PRICE $77 plus postage & handling

Dupain's Beaches - this collection is amongst his best work.  In it we see Dupain's fascination with shadows, with sand patterns, with arcs of seascape - and above all, the people who indulged themselves on Australia's urban and rural beaches over a period of sixty years. The images demonstrate how vital a part the beach plays in the Australian consciousness. PRICE $77 plus postage & handling

Dupain's Australians - the third book in the series presents a selection of Dupain's photographs of people: his family, his fellow officers in New Guinea in WWII, his portraits, his nudes and a large collection of his insightful images of Australians - people often captured in their working environment. PRICE $77 plus postage & handling

The Sunbaker 1937

"The Sunbaker has fascinated the public and critics alike. It is a paradigm of Dupain's own goal of simplicity at all costs. Although the image was rarely seen before 1975, it is probably now the single most widely recognised Australian photograph."
