During Walker’s decade with Fairfax Media he has won numerous awards including two Walkleys. His photographic subjects have ranged from prime ministers Bob Hawke, Paul Keating, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull, to business people such as Australia’s Richest Bob Pratt, Frank Lowy and Harry Triguboff.
