‘Head On’ Photography Exhibition 2008

Head On is an innovative showcase of Australian portrait photography, reflecting a vibrant, diverse cross-section of new and traditional photographic practices. Now in its fifth year, the show includes the work of 40 finalists, competing for prizes worth over $30,000.

This year’s works have been selected by multi award winning photographer Stephen Dupont, Byron-McMahon director Sandra Byron and Head On founder and curator, Moshe Rosenzveig. Winners will be announced at the exhibition opening on 1 May.

The show’s main selection criteria are the quality and impact of the image, rather than the celebrity of the photographer or subject. As a result Head On is regarded by many as the most critically important photographic portrait prize in Australia.

The Head On exhibition runs from Friday 2 May to Saturday 7 June 2008 at the Australian Centre for Photography – 257 Oxford Street, Paddington.
