Engaging in the festival’s diverse events and discussions is a significant aspect of my participation. Head On, led by Creative Director Moshe Rosenzveig OAM, stands out as an international photography event that transforms public spaces into cultural hubs. It’s an honour to contribute to an event that explores global and social issues, creating an inclusive space for art enthusiasts and the broader community.
Head On Photo Festival is an international photography event presented by the not-for-profit Head On Foundation (est. 2008), comprising exhibitions and events, transforming public spaces into cultural destinations, and bringing people together to celebrate photography. Led by Creative Director Moshe Rosenzveig OAM each year, judges select all exhibiting photographers through Head On’s unique judging process, in which they judge works anonymously, ensuring a diverse range of stories and equal opportunity. This year, exhibitions and conversations explore important global and social issues — global conflict, refugees, ageing, motherhood, pop culture, the environment, homelessness and gentrification.
Grateful to be part of such a meaningful exploration through the lens of photography
Will see you at the festival!

Work is the study of humans and their work environments — the day-to-day work activities of the person on the ground level. This exhibition aims to show the struggles of work, workloads and the imbalance in society.
