We’ve been hard at work finishing the last few loose ends from last year’s festival and have already started planning for Head On Photo Festival 2018. Exhibition submissions will open on 15 August.
This month we are featuring 2015 Portrait Prize finalist Cathy Carter’s photograph “IDYIA #2 2015“. Cathy has been submitting her fantastic work to our photo awards for the past few years so we were pleased to see her step up and exhibit her series “Oceanids Rising” in this year’s Festival.
We’ve come across some fascinating pieces this month – a few of the office favourites are:
