My image, “The Rising”, won first place at the 2018 Simon Devitt Prize for Photography. My work was displayed alongside the finalists at the Gus Fisher Gallery in Auckland, New Zealand.
“This year’s winning entry stood out to me from my very first encounter with it,” says Devitt. “Unforgettable, evanescent, and seemingly able to glow with its own energy source, the subject seduces the viewer with its grace, while also questioning the audience with its ambiguous intent. The theme ‘Mythical’ is explored in a very quiet and powerful manner, while subtly drawing on a vast array of historical influences,” he says.
See below some photos from the opening night at Gus Fisher Gallery.
