The Image Makers Association has unveiled their 1 Shot exhibition, which features 45 captivating photographs from Australia’s pre-eminent photographers presenting their interpretation of the theme titled “Home / Away”. ‘Home’ can be seen interpreted as a physical place, a feeling, a person or a memory triggered by a chance encounter, whereas ‘Away’ is not always in reference to geographical distance from home, but in the extension of ourselves from familiar patterns and routines into the lesser known parts of our inner and outer worlds. The exhibition will run until 19 January 2024 in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne.
