THE Perth Centre of Photography hosted its first show at the historic Lawton House, with eastern states photographer Mike Read winning the 2015 Iris Award.
The 1911 West Perth mansion and its sprawling grounds on Colin Street were a far cry from the handsome but modest spot they had on Aberdeen Street for three years.
Melbourne photographer Read’s work “A Break in Arguing Between Messi and Ronaldo” was based on the two most common questions he’s asked in Cisuara in Indonesia, a mountain village home to many asylum seekers. The first question is politics and policy changes but the second is always “Ronaldo or Messi?”.
