More Max Harris images
Max was a former cameraman at Studio Cameraman/Audio Operator in the Film Department at BTV Channel 6, Ballarat. He was in the RAAF where he studied photography for 6 years.
The Max Harris Photography Collection was compiled by collector and photographer Max Harris over forty years from various sources, including public, private, and his own images. Any knowledge regarding additional information about these images can be made via the contact form at the bottom of the page (quoting the MH reference number) and much appreciated.
The images that have been catalogued and uploaded here are from the digital files in the collection.
This extensive collection of images was purchased by the Haymes family (David and Jenny) and was donated by them to the BMI to care for this valuable Ballarat asset.
