The Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards (Canon APPA) represents the very best in Australian Professional Photography. Now in their 32nd year, the Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards recognise the top professional photographers in Australia. The 2008 awards received a record number of entries with an increase in submissions of 45%.
The Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards are open to all Australian and overseas professional photographers. Photographs are individually critiqued and scored via a rigorous peer-review judging process to determine the highest-scoring prints across the different categories of Advertising/Fashion, Editorial, Commercial/Industrial, Illustrative, Portrait, Wedding, Environment, Science & Nature, Landscape, Photo Illustrator and an Open Award. From the 10 category winners, one photographer is chosen as the major winner.
In 2008, the major prize and title of Canon AIPP Australian Professional Photographer of the Year was awarded to Melbourne-based professional photographer, Mercury Megaloudis, of Megagraphics Photography.
Earth from Above: Perth photography exhibition
Posted by Dean Bradshaw | Filed under Perth Creative Scene
For those of you in Perth, don’t miss one of the most incredible and thought provoking photography exhibitions you may ever see. Yann Arthus Bertrand’s world famous ‘Earth from Above’ series (which has been viewed by 60 million people worldwide in its book and gallery forms) is exhibited outside the Perth Art Gallery until January. The outdoor presentation runs 24hrs a day and documents some of the most incredible places on earth, from a perspective you’ve never seen them before – the air.
I first became familiar with Bertrand’s amazing work from his book ‘Being a Photographer‘ and was pleasantly surprised when I saw this traveling exhibition would be coming to Perth.
While you’re down there, you can also check out the small gallery of Nature Photography at the Western Australian Museum, which is about 100m away. Part of the ANZANG nature photography competition, the traveling gallery encompasses some of the best nature photography from Australia and New Zealand.
