Finalist - Maggie Diaz Photography Prize

I’m very honoured to have my work Distraction selected as a finalist in the inaugural Maggie Diaz Photography Prize for Women.  The exhibition of finalists is currently on display at Brightspace Gallery in St Kilda until 19 September.

I made it along to the opening and prize announcement on the 3 September, there was a large crowd in attendance and I met a couple of the other finalists.  The winner was a beautiful image, Lost in Paris by Leesa O’Reilly, and one of only two images not to feature people. My personal favourite, Fortune Teller by Helga Leunig, received a special recommendation by the judges which left a smile on my face. 

If you can’t make it to the exhibition in person the finalists can be viewed online at http://www.maggiediazprize.com/the-finalists.html
