Photography is a medium of art that has become a way of life for many people. The second edition of the Head On Photo Festival is a great example of this. The festival not only showcased the work of both emerging and established photographers, but also highlighted the power of the image itself. The festival is unique in that it does not focus on the celebrity status of the photographer. Instead, it celebrates the diversity and inspiring range of new and traditional photographic practices.
