Wellington photographer Harry Culy is fascinated with the kinds of things the rest of us wouldn't even notice - weeds breaking through cement, cracks in surfaces and isolated spaces.
His darkly evocative body of work that falls between documentary and art photography, has won him the 2021 Marti Friedlander Photographic Award in this weekend's announcement of the 2021 Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi Laureates.
Harry's camera of choice is a large 4 x 5" field film camera so it takes him time to set up a shot and every photo counts. He also runs a small press photobook company called Bad News Books.
