About Head On Photo Festival
The inaugural Head On Photo Festival will take place in Sydney from April 29 to June 5. Head On Portrait Prize was founded by Moshe Rosenzveig in 2004 as an independent national photographic portrait competition and has since grown exponentially. 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 the arts community and reviewers as the most critically important photographic portrait prize in the country. | This year's judges were National Gallery of Victoria senior curator - photography Dr Isobel Crombie, prize-winning photographer Anthony Browell, Australian agent for photo agency Vu Isabelle Rouvillois and Head On Curator, Moshe Rosenzveig. Past judges include art world luminaries such as Magnum photographer Trent Parke, multi award winning photographer Narelle Autio, Good Weekend Picture Editor Judith Love, | |
