National Photographic Portrait Prize 2017 Art Handlers' Award
This portrait of artist Bobby Bunungurr was taken in his hometown of Ramingining Arnhemland. Bobby shares the image making process by edging his totem in the wet emulsion of the large format Polaroid negative. This image is part of an ongoing project which started in 1998.
The art handlers have chosen Bobby Bunungurr by Tobias Titz as their favourite portrait for the NPPP 2017.
The exhibition is selected from a national field of entries, reflecting the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects.
