Showcasing 44 portraits that reflect the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects.
Selected from a national field of entries, the portraits flicker with complex emotional registers. Outwardly bold, they suggest inner reflection. Surety is based upon serenity. Innocence is deepened by a flash of self-awareness. In the evening air, in space, self-hood is quietly energised.
This exhibition includes works by the winner for 2015 is Portrait of Ali by Hoda Afshar, and highly commended Kathrine Williams, amongst others.
