National Photographic Portrait Prize 2025 Finalist
‘The pregnant belly, a symbol of new life and transformation, is here framed between structures that represent both protection and confinement. I wanted the work to speak to the universal experience of transition, the tension between security and uncertainty, and the beauty found in the in-between spaces of life’s unfolding journey.’
Jennie Groom is a Tarntanya/Adelaide-based photographer whose practice focuses on portraiture, feminism and social commentary.



The NPPP is an annual prize for Australian photographers. The year’s most outstanding photographic portrait is awarded a $30,000 cash prize and photographic equipment valued at $20,000 courtesy of our Imaging Partner, Canon Australia.
