Powerful photographs will be on display at NSW Parliament this November and December, with this special exhibition shining a spotlight on 2022's Walkley Award photography finalists and Nikon Prize Winners.
The exhibition features the works of finalists in the Nikon-Walkley Awards for Excellence in Photojournalism, which recognise the work of photographers across a range of genres, from news and sport to portraiture and photographic essays. The showcase of photos is a chance to reflect on the year in news, through the individual worldviews and skilled camerawork of Australia's best photographers.
Visitors will be able to see the winners of the 2022 Nikon Photo of the Year (pictured in the main image above and below) and the Nikon Portrait Prize, as well as the finalists selected from thousands of images in other prize categories - whose winners will be announced on 17 November.
The Walkley Awards are the highest honours in Australian journalism, celebrating excellence across all media. Since 1956, when the first Walkleys were presented in five categories, the awards have grown to 30 categories, including documentary film, non-fiction books. Learn more at www.walkleys.com.
