National Photographic Portrait Prize 2017 Finalist
Luke is the lead singer and guitarist of a heavy metal band. That brings with it a certain stereotype in terms of one’s appearance. But Luke has a softer, more vulnerable side, which is what I wanted to show in this portrait. Here he is with Nacoya, his black Pomeranian.
The exhibition is selected from a national field of entries, reflecting the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects.
Explore portraiture and come face to face with Australian identity, history, culture, creativity and diversity.
