The Ilford Orloff Awards
ABOUT THE EVENT
See the work of some of Western Australia's best photographers from 2025. Spanning a range of styles and subjects, this photography exhibition showcases the winners and finalists of the third annual Ilford Orloff Awards.
Named in honor of one of WA's pioneering photographers, Izzy Orloff, The Ilford Orloff Awards celebrate the best in contemporary photography. One of WA’s most significant photographers, Orloff was born in Ukraine in 1891 and migrated to Western Australia, settling in Fremantle in 1910. Izzy's photographs are of enduring significance, providing a pictorial record of Fremantle and Perth between the wars, and are one of the treasures in the State Library’s collection.
These annual awards are run by Western Australia’s leading industry association for professional photographers, Pro Photography WA. The exhibition is presented in partnership with the State Library.
