Nikon-Walkley Photojournalism 2023 Exhibition

Featuring the winners and finalists from the Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism. The awards celebrate the achievements of Australian photographers across a range of genres, from news and sports to portraiture and visual essays.

Photojournalism requires a rare blend of skills, meticulous planning and lightning reflexes, technical mastery and aesthetic instincts, intellectual detachment and emotional intuition. This combination of objectivity and empathy allows a photographer to read a subject's inner world and express it through their setting. A life in a landscape, a narrative in a single frame. In selecting three finalists in each category, from more than 3000 images entered, the Walkley photography judges look for newsworthiness, impact, creativity and technical skill.  

This exhibition showcases a selection of images by the 2023 finalists, encompasses a range of subjects, from politicians to everyday folk, from our backyards to the furthest corners of the globe. Such is the power of photojournalism: in a moment of stillness, each voice says, “This is my story. I am here.”  

The exhibition will run in digital 4K format at The Edge from 21 March until 14 June 2024.
