When

Every day, all day Thursday 12 November 2020 to Sunday 6 December 2020

Robert Newman has documented the lives of the Irish Travellers, a historically nomadic group. Though always kept at the margins of society, travellers are a remarkably resilient group who highly prize their culture and family life.

They are a beautiful people whose story is largely untold outside Ireland and the United Kingdom. With his photographs, Newman hopes to share the world of the Travellers with others well outside their homeland.

Award-winning American photographer Bob Newman learned photography through workshops and mentoring. His work focuses on storytelling using environmental photography. 

After delivering the first online festival in the world in May, attracting 80,000 visits, Head On Photo Festival returns with a printed festival of quality photography this November. 

Visit beautiful and topical exhibitions in open spaces and galleries around Sydney.
