2015 Nikon-Walkley Press Photography Exhibition
They're the photos that made us look beyond the headlines in the last year.
Overview
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and when it comes to press photography, the adage rings true. News stories accompanied by striking imagery always stand out above the rest. The best photojournalists prove that the camera can be mightier than the keyboard in getting to the essence of an issue.
Every year, the Nikon-Walkley Awards for Excellence in Photojournalism recognise the best in the field, and every year, the cream of the crop feature in a corresponding photography exhibition. 2014's finalists and winners are now touring the country. Latest stop: Brisbane.
The 2015 Nikon-Walkley Press Photography Exhibition revisits the snaps that didn't just make headlines, they made people read the headlines, and the corresponding articles, too. From media moguls arguing to cricket bats breaking, this is a photography show combined with a time capsule, showcasing the outstanding moments in sports, daily life and news reportage captured over the past 12 months with stunning artistry.
