About the exhibition
The National Photographic Portrait Prize 2022 reflects the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers, and the unique nature of their subjects.
The winner of NPPP 2022 is 'Silent Strength' by Wayne Quilliam. In making their decision, the judging panel - award-winning press photographer Nick Moir together with Sandra Bruce, the National Portrait Gallery’s Director of Collection and Exhibitions and Associate Curator Rebecca Ray - said Quilliam’s portrait was a work of immense power and beauty; “Everything about this portrait is exceptional. The composition, the contrast, the richness of the colours in the ochres and feathers, and also the sense of pride the subject is portraying – all of these layers and details carry such power in connecting the subject and his story with the audience.”
The remaining finalists represent the very best in contemporary photographic portraiture, offering a sweeping view of the nation's diversity and experience.
