competition. Photographer Shea Kirk has taken home the top prize, including a $30,000 cash prize and $20,000 worth of Canon equipment, courtesy of Canon Australia.
“Over the past 6 years I have been inviting people over to my home studio to sit in front of simple backdrops and make portraits. This portrait is of my now good friend Emma, which we made together during our first meeting. I wanted to create the idea of the body as a record. We are our faces as much as we are our limbs, extremities, our nooks, and crannies.
Of Kirk’s winning image, judges remark, “While Shea makes the portrait look effortless, this is a masterful and technically complex work where the sitter has no self-consciousness. It is as if the artist and sitter are participating equally in the transaction.”In addition to Kirk earning the top honor, two other finalists received special recognition.
