Shortlist for Under 18 - Female
Photographer: Jenni Medland
Title: Rings of Blue
Comments:
As I began to photograph this group of Indigenous men, I became intrigued by the unique features of this gentleman. His dark piercing blue ringed eyes form a striking appeal, yet there seemed to be a mask of despair and grief painted over his face. As I began to talk to him his face softened in response to our relaxed and friendly conversation with his friends.
