Tim Page Early Life And Career
Page was born on 25 May 1944 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
He had taught himself the art of photography, and later took up a job as a press photographer in Laos for UPI and AFP.
Page was known for his intense and powerful combat photographs, which appeared in several publications around the world, as far back as the 1960s.
Page had sustained injuries on four occasions during the war and one of those times led to months off work so as to recover.

Author Michael Herr had described Page as the most extravagant of the “wigged-out crazies” in Vietnam who “liked to augment his field gear with freak paraphernalia, scarves and beads.”

Page wrote a number of books. One of them, “Requiem” is a collection of photographs taken by all of the photographers and journalists who died during the Vietnamese wars.
Requiem has since become a traveling photographic exhibition presented in Vietnam’s War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, in many parts of America, Japan and London.
Page has been featured in several documentaries and two films. He lived in Baltimore before he died and was an Adjunct Professor of Photojournalism at Griffith University.
Tim passed away on August 24, 2022, in his home in New South Wales, after a long battle with liver cancer. He was aged 78.
