Head On Photo Festival

Head On turns the city of Sydney into a living cross-section of cutting edge photography and video media. Exhibiting across all genres and experiences, Head On is a platform for the passion of the photographers, the excitement of the audiences, the beauty of the medium and the issues photography addresses. Through world-renowned exhibitors and speakers, innovative workshops and compelling exhibitions, Head On is the Australian hub for photographic enthusiasts, professionals and collectors alike.

Head On is a bridge between Australian and International photographic markets.
In 2014 alone, Head On exhibited 55 artists from 18 countries. Festival tours in America, China and New Zealand introduced the international photographic elite and audiences in excess of 500, 000 to the wealth of photographic talent Australia possess with great acclaim.

The Head On Awards, now in its 11th year, is the flagship of our annual program.
Our anonymous judging ensures each work is selected solely on its merit rather than the celebrity of the photographer. Across 4 categories, 16 judges, 130 finalists and $50 000 in prizes, the Head On Awards represent a global selection of the best emerging and established photography.

We know photography matters and we show it.

See for yourself from the 1st – 31st May, 2015.
