Conversation: Are you talking for me?

As a photographer, how do you ensure the story you tell is the subject's point of view? Is the story that the photographer is trying to project or the issues?

Is it the photographer's story or the story of the subject?

This Head On Conversation will discuss how to choose topics, places and pictorial conversations and ensure they represent the voice of the subject.

Head On Photo Festival, presented by Head On Foundation (not-for-profit est. 2008), has become synonymous with exceptional photography. Beginning in 2010, the Sydney-based Festival has developed into a world-leading cultural event known for showcasing thousands of diverse photographers on the world stage.

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 conflicts, pop culture, the environment and urbanisation. Moshe Rosenzveig OAM, Founder and Creative Director of Head On Foundation, shares, "The event is family-friendly and enjoyed by Sydneysiders, interstate and international visitors of all ages. The exhibitions' appeal merges the boundaries between everyday people, photographic enthusiasts, and artists. It's the perfect way to enjoy art either indoors or outdoors in a relaxed and accessible environment.”
