The World Press Photo Foundation will bring its internationally acclaimed exhibition back to Sydney later this month - and supporting partner Fujifilm Australia is marking the occasion with an exclusive event for the local photography community to enjoy.
On display from 24 May to 6 July at the State Library of NSW’s, the exhibition celebrates the power of photography, the impact of visual storytelling, and Fujifilm’s commitment to supporting social responsibility and journalism.
On Thursday 5 June, Fujifilm Australia will celebrate the exhibition’s return to Sydney with an immersive photo walk around the city during VIVID, along with a keynote address from award-winning Australian photojournalist and Fujifilm X-Photographer, Dr. Michael Coyne.
Drawing on his 40-year career documenting international events, Dr. Coyne will speak to the power of visual storytelling and the role of photojournalism, sharing his story and exploring how images shape narratives.
The collection features 42 images, selected from 59,320 entries across 141 countries and judged by an international jury, and invites the viewer to look beyond the headlines, offering visually striking narratives that reveal both the urgency and humanity behind the world’s most pressing and overlooked stories.
Dr Michael Coyne, one of Fujifilm’s esteemed X-Photographers, commented: “It’s wonderful to see the World Press Photo Exhibition return to Sydney once again, and have the most important global stories brought to life through powerful, thought-provoking imagery on display. I’m honoured to lead a talk on the enduring importance of photojournalism, the power of storytelling, and the vital importance of the photographs in the exhibition.”
