Background[]
After graduating from a TAFE photography course in 2004, Quilty undertook an informal internship at Fairfax Media which led to full-time employment.[3] Quilty left Fairfax in 2010 and became a freelance photographer in Sydney, before he relocated to New York.[3]
In 2013, Quilty visited Afghanistan where he says he discovered his "bonafide purpose and fulfilment" in his work, deciding to be permanently based in Kabul.[3][4]
Throughout his career, Quilty's photography has been recognised with a number of awards.[3][5]
Most notably, Quilty was awarded the Gold Walkley in 2016.[6] The award was presented to Quilty in recognition for "The Man on the Operating Table", a photograph of hospital patient Baynazar Mohammed Nazar l ying dead on an operating table in the Médecins Sans Frontières Kunduz Trauma Centre, after the 2015 American airstrike which killed 42 people and injured over 30 others.[7]
