Winning Image by Rod Capon – ‘Burning Desire’

There’s a story that’s told by Rod’s family about when being photographed as a baby he would often gaze at the camera with the look of amazement in his eye.  Unsurprising then that from as early as he can remember he’s loved not only the camera but also many different styles and types of photography, in particular stunning landscapes and glamorous portraits.

His love of shooting with models, studio work and lighting came a little later in his career, after he’d signed up for his workshop and found himself not only seeing but becoming hooked on the light. Digital photography then afforded Rod even greater creativity and the freedom to experiment.

The rest, as they say, is a photographic timeline and one that’s been recognised and captured in some very well-known and read magazines and publications, now many different swimwear and glamour magazines that now often see a Rod Capon image gracing their covers.

Rod has travelled and taken photographs in some of the world’s most amazing, exotic countries and locations including Spain, Portugal, the USA, the Caribbean, Fiji, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and all over his native Australia.

Real Refuses:

THE DEMOCRATIC ARCHIBALD PRIZE !

ALL WORKS GUARANTEED TO BE HUNG!!

Saturday 26 May marks the 22nd Anniversary of Australia’s largest Art “non” Event – Real Refuses – where artists not selected for the ARCHIBALD, WYNNE, SULMAN, and DOUG MORAN Art Prizes exhibit their work at TAP Gallery in Darlinghurst to win the popular “People’s Choice Award”, selected by the public on the night.

Real Refuses has become firmly established as part of the “Archibald Season”.

While it is an exhibition of rejected artwork, it is much more than that…

It is about giving a fair go to all the artists involved in Australia’s largest art events.

Not everyone can win an Archibald but here everyone can exhibit along side their peers. (You’ll find past winners of Australia’s biggest art prizes here as well!)

In the past an extraordinary range of subjects have been shown, from musicians, actors, politicians including the NSW Premier, Mayor of Willoughby, Anthony Mundeen, Tony Abbott, Leo Sawyer, the then Prime Minister John Howard, Madame Lash, Elizabeth Cummings, Professor Bruce James Brew, and Jaiwei, (a winner of the Sulman.)

We can’t wait to see the works not selected this year!
