WHAT THE JUDGES THOUGHT
This was one of the most captivating images from this year’s Mono Awards. Made from multiple captures using various focal lengths and perspectives, this photograph could easily have been just another staid photograph of an old Italian village, but instead the photographer has used considerable skill to add some wonderful complexity to this scene. While some will revel in unravelling the layers of this photograph, others will simply enjoy exploring the minute tableaus – a bicycle outside a cafe, tourists wandering a laneway, stairs winding up a bell tower, or just an old crow flying by. The image implies the complexity that time adds to place of one of the oldest towns in the world. It is a very deserving winner.

This image has immediate impact. The multiple exposure creates an added layer of intrigue and gives the viewer so much to discover as they look through the photograph. The mono treatment emphasises the rooftop details and building edges to perfection. It is engaging and mesmerising.

Matera 2 This image was taken in the town of Matera in southern Italy. It is claimed to be the 3rd oldest continually inhabited settlement in the world. It has been home to someone for at least 9,000 years. There are many layers to this ancient town and I wanted to show that. So, I made an in-camera multiple exposure of four images to create this photo.
