Bathurst Portrait Prize

I've recently completed my entry for the up coming Bathurst Portrait Prize, which will be exhibited on the 27th August at the Bathurst Regional Gallery.

As I don't want to ruin the surprise of who I've photographed for the portrait prize, I'm not going to reveal the name of the person that I chose to photograph. Let's just say that they are a well known identity here in Bathurst.

I gave a lot of thought about how I might photograph my portrait subject over several weeks, and eventually come up with a simple idea. With this idea in mind, and great co-operation from my portrait subject, I was able to capture exactly what I had hoped for from my portrait subject, and had the portrait session finished within 10 minutes.

It was fun to photograph a portrait just for the fun of it. To push my creativity, and just to have a bit of fun while supporting a local community event at the Bathurst Art Gallery. It should be a great exhibition.
