Photographic artist David Prichard has won the current year’s pined for Taylor Wessing Prize for his representations of Australian native ladies. His series, Tribute to Indigenous Stock Women, catches the people. Who have burned through the vast majority of their working lives on steers stations in northern Queensland.
Prichard thanked the subjects for their trust, saying he was “just the vehicle for the ladies to recount their accounts.”
He was granted the £15,000 first prize at London’s Cromwell Place on Monday Pictures Of Australian. The Sydney-based photographic artist, 55, said he needed to focus light on a local area that had been generally unrecorded.
He was appointed to make the Queensland’s Normanton Council series following a 2019 display on First Nation rodeo riders in the locale. He said: “I have consistently been aware of social and social sensitivities. And accordingly assembled entrust with the local area, which drove me to be welcome to photo the ladies.”
Prichard beat off contest from individual chosen people Pierre-Elie de Pibrac and Katya Ilina, Pictures Of Australian. Who were granted second and third places separately. The Taylor Wessing Prize, presently in its fourteenth year, is perceived as one of the most esteemed photography grants of its sort.
The triumphant representations will be shown at Cromwell Place in South Kensington, London. As a component of the prize’s yearly display from Wednesday until 2 January. The photos are typically shown in the National Portrait Gallery, yet. That is right now shut for significant redevelopment until 2023.
