PEOPLES CHOICE WINNERS

0 Comment
 23 Oct 2019   Posted by IDEA Australia


OPEN PROGRAM

Congratulations to the 2019 Open Program People’s Choice winner, Donna Crebbin for her exhibition Element at Inexterior Cafe, 401 Mair St, Ballarat, there is still one more day to view!

Donna Crebbin was a 2018 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year finalist, and was named one of Australian Photography magazine’s top 50 wildlife photographers in 2017.

Donna’s exhibition Element walks us through twisting snow gums, tall mountain ash and snowy plains. These photographs visit heritage huts and follow Australia’s wild horses and other wildlife calling the mountains home in our coldest element. Discover a new insight into Mt Stirling (VIC), Kosciuzsko National Park (NSW) and Namadgi National Park (ACT).



MARTIN KANTOR PORTRAIT PRIZE

The people have spoken and the winner of the People’ Choice for the 2019 Martin Kantor Portrait Prize is Steve Young for his photograph of Paul Kelly.  Steve explains, “During a conversation with Paul I touched on the prevalence of water in his recent writings to which he replied, “Everywhere I go, each new place, the first thing I do is go and find the water. Lake, river, sea”. And so it was that we ended up in familiar waters off St Kilda for our first photo shoot in back in 2014.”



ALANE FINEMAN
NEW PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD

Congratulations to the inaugural Alane Fineman New Photography Award winner of the People’s Choice award, Anton Gautama for his series The Outsider. The subject of Anton Gautama’s work is The Satan Building. Located in Surabaya, Indonesia and built during Dutch colonialization in the early 19th century, the once abandoned building retains an eerie historical mysticism. In the 1960s under Communist brutality, the building became a place of political refuge for Chinese Indonesians fearing for their lives. Today, the building houses more than thirty impoverished families suppressed by dogmatic governmental policies. The Outsider explores the history, economy, and sociology of The Satan Buildings as a place of safety, refuge and community as the final series in a trilogy photobook project.
