Born Henry Stephen Tichauer at Hindenburg, Germany, Henry Talbot displayed an early fascination with photography.

Interned as a German National in London in 1940, he was transported to Australia aboard the infamous prison transport ship the 'Dunera.' He served in the Australian Army from 1942 to 1946 where he met and established a close personal friendship with fellow German refugee, the renowned international photographer Helmut Newton, with whom he later shared a photography studio in Melbourne. Talbot became the Head of the Photography Department at the School of Art and Design at Preston (Phillip) Institute of Technology, Melbourne from 1973 to 1985. (Ref: Powerhouse Museum website).
