Photojournalism Finalist: Indigenous life in remote Kennedy Hill
Finalist comments: Ingetje Tadros’s submission, Indigenous life in remote Kennedy Hill, provides a moving insight into the lives of Kennedy Hill’s Indigenous community—the connection (or loss of connection) of the people to the land and the effects of changing government policies. The submission has a strong focus on humanitarian and social justice issues and from the supporting material, it is evident that these photos have reached a wide audience through publications and exhibitions, drawing attention to these issues and stimulating public awareness. It is also evident that the photographer has a deep and sympathetic knowledge of the culture and people of Kennedy Hill and surrounding areas.
Individually the photographs included are strong: a consistent aesthetic is employed and in most technical aspects the images are outstanding. Overall, the emotion, pain, trauma and hope captured in each individual photograph made this a very strong submission and an excellent example of how the medium can be used effectively to raise awareness about significant social and humanitarian issues.
