We are excited to partner with 1854, the publishers of the British Journal of Photography, to present Portrait of Humanity for the first time in Australia at PHOTO 2021.

Portrait of Humanity 2021 invites photographers, of any level, to show their interpretation of humanity. It seeks to celebrate our shared values of individuality, community, and unity, and to show that despite our many differences, we are able to unite as a global community through the power of photography. 2020 has been a year of unprecedented global struggle. Portrait of Humanity is looking for photographers to shine a light on a tumultuous time in our history.

PHOTO Australia respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live, and the rich and diverse Indigenous cultures across what is now called Australia. For over 60,000 years, Indigenous arts and culture have thrived on this sacred land, and we honour Elders and cultural leaders past and present. This was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
