‘Head On is the nation’s major innovative showcase for Australian portrait photography, reflecting a vibrant, diverse cross-section of new and traditional photographic practices. The show’s main selection criteria are the quality and impact of the image, rather than the celebrity of the Mark Rogersphotographer 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.’
Head On Photo Festival 2011 will run 5 May – 11 June 2011
