2013 Kiss My Camera exhibition
After receiving over 300 entries, West Australian Music and the Western Australian Museum are delighted to announce 32 of WA’s best music photographers have been selected for the 2013 Kiss My Camera exhibition and are now in the running to win over $1,000 in prizes.
Presented every year by the Western Australian Museum and West Australian Music as part of the WAM Festival, Kiss My Camera is a music photography competition that showcases the exciting and dynamic work of WA’s music photography community. Demonstrating a distinct WA flavour, all images feature either a WA or touring artist in a WA venue or location.
Culminating in an exhibition of 50 images at the Western Australian Museum – Perth, this year’s finalists will be vying for the “Best Live Image” or “Best Portrait” prizes, where the winners will take home a $500 cash prize recently raised by a successful WAM crowdfunding campaign and a vintage Polaroid goodie bag courtesy of sponsor Pigeonhole Presents The Impossible Project.
The images selected for this year’s exhibition showcase an amazing snapshot of WA’s constantly evolving music scene and highlight the vital role music photographers play in promoting original WA music.
The 32 artists selected to feature in the 2013 exhibition are:
Alanna Kusin, Amber Bateup, Brad Lambert, Brandon Davies, Caleb Macintyre, Courtnie Hayes, Dan Bedford, Dan Grant, David McLoughlin, Dean Smith, Denis Radacic, Dhyan Verco, Elle Borgward, Gareth Andersen, James Gifford, James Kilian, Jasmine Eales, Karen Wheatland, Martin Mclellan, Michael Farnell, Michael Spencer, Michael Wilson, Nicholas Cooper, Renae Harkins, Robert Simeon, Ryan Ammon, Samuel Allen, Shaun Ferraloro, Suzanne Crosbie, Tanya Voltchanskaya, Thomas Davidson and Tracey Wilson.
