National Photographic Portrait Prize

‘The National Photographic Portrait Prize’ exhibition is selected from a national field of entries that reflect the distinctive vision of Australia’s aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects. The winner for 2015 is Portrait of ‘Ali’ by Hoda Afshar.

Many of the 44 portraits selected for this year’s exhibition 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.
