Emmanuel Santos is a Filipino-Australian photographer whose lens captures the spirit of humanity across cultures, faiths, and migrations. Born in Bulacan, Philippines in 1957, he began his career with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), documenting the lives and journeys of displaced people before settling in Melbourne in the early 1980s. His work has since evolved into a deeply humanistic visual record of ritual, resilience, and belonging — spanning continents from Australia to Greece, the Philippines, and Israel. Best known for his long-term photographic studies of Jewish communities and the broader diaspora, Santos blends ethnographic observation with poetic empathy. His images, held in collections such as the National Gallery of Victoria and Israel’s Museum of the Jewish People, reveal the quiet dignity of tradition and the endurance of cultural identity in a changing world.

The Third Opinion Uncensored is a program in which we ask questions and have critical discussions about all things science, health, well-being, public health and politics. We are in a post-truth era where censored and distorted science, media and social media, impact our understandings, increased social division and fuel conflict in our world. 

Our intent is to bring you trusted honest, diverse voices from Australia and around the world to give you insights into: 
Uncensored evidence-based science and medicine.  
Medical decision-making. Who decides what doctors and their patients can and can’t do, and why? 
What and who influences our government, our media and our social media? 
The ethical dilemmas of public health. Should governments censor information for the 'public good'? Or for 'corporate greed'?
How to unravel fact from fiction, so you can feel safer and healthier in these unprecedented times!

We interview scientists, doctors, specialists and professors from around the world who share their knowledge, research and practical solutions in managing this complex world. 

We hope the Third Opinion Uncensored community will empower you to feel less fear as we look beyond the media headlines to create a space for critical thinking and intelligent discussion.
