AGS-sponsored photographer Ralph Alphonso has set off on his Asking for Directions expedition during which he will traverse Australia in a purpose-built four-wheel-drive truck called Brutus. He plans to travel off the beaten track to experience a side of Australia that’s rarely visited and rarely documented, capturing the spirit of this country through its people.
