A meaningful photograph has the power to move you. To make you feel curious, happy, sympathetic, angry, shocked, uplifted. The Head On Photo Festival started as a small portrait exhibition in 2004 and grew. And grew! The 9th Head On Photo Festival has kicked off, showing stunning photography from Australia and around the world.
Tune in to The Dialogue at 6pm tonight (Wednesday 9 May) when I chat with the Festival’s founder and Director, Moshe Rosenzveig.
Moshe is a photojournalist, commercial photographer, educator and an award winning television producer/director. Photography is his world. We chat about his own experiences covering the conflict in Lebanon, the rise of mobile phone photography and the remarkable artists and exhibitions that enrich our lives with their visual storytelling.
The Head On Photo Festival is now on and runs till 20 May 2018. See the winners and finalists in the Head On Photo Awards for Portrait, Landscape, Mobile and Student categories. There are 180 exhibitions at 100 venues, with 800 exhibiting artists. Plus talks and workshops. Drop in to the Festival Hub at Paddington Town Hall.
