Congratulations to Adam Ferguson who has just been awarded 2nd Prize in this year's Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery in London for three portraits from his new book Big Sky.
Adam began photographing Australia’s interior in 2013 in an attempt to dispel sentimental and outdated narratives around the ‘Outback’—a place central to the identity and development of modern day Australia. His photographic survey, made over a 10-year period, depicts fading traditional events, shrinking small towns, Aboriginal connection to Country, the impacts of globalisation and the adversity of climate change to illustrate the complex realities of contemporary life in the ‘Outback’.
Adam's portraits will be on display at the gallery as part of this year's Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize exhibition from 14 November - 16 February 2025, alongside portraits by three other photographers we have worked with—Sarah Mei Herman, Roo Lewis, Sam Wright. Congratulations to the winner, Steph Wilson and all the other photographers in this year's exhibition.
