Winner 2013 Simon Devitt Prize for Photography

Samuel Wong is the winner of this years prize for his entry ‘Rider’.

My description of his winning entry:

“The winning photograph left me in no doubt. Its a picture I wish I had made myself. The sense of the uncanny, the surreal and a poetic nod to the theme are all captivating characteristics of the winning photograph. The winning entry reveals a deceptively ambiguous narrative that held my attention and begged re-visiting. Its success rests, uneasily in between the everyday and the otherworldly.”
