Head On Photo Festival

From mental illness and motherhood, ISIS and nudists, to the nightlife of Kings Cross in the 1970's and rare and unseen images of David Bowie, Head On Photo Festival returns to Sydney with a stunning array of exhibitions from around the world.

Running from Thursday 5 – Sunday 28 May 2017, Head On Photo Festival is one of the world's largest and most prestigious photo festivals. Since it began in 2010 the Festival has evolved from 70 events to 180 throughout its program. This year, over 60 featured exhibitions have been nominated as highlights of the Festival.

Festival Director, Moshe Rosenzvieg says 'This is the biggest year yet for Head On. We're exhibiting works from over 600 photographers from 10 different countries. Head On is also moving out to Paddington. We've teamed up with Woollahra Municipal Council to revitalise the creative suburb for the month of May."

'As well as our Festival hub at Lower Town Hall in the city, we'll have two new Festival Hubs at Paddington Town Hall and Paddington Reservoir Gardens as well as exhibitions throughout Oxford St where festival goers can see some of the most engaging photography the Festival has to offer," said Rosenzvieg.
