IF Magazine's portrait of Oscar-nominated filmmaker Luke Doolan has won the top prize in the London Photographic Association's Let's Face It 8 portrait competition.
The double-page spread, which appeared in IF Magazine #142 (August-September 2011), was the vision of Sydney-based photographer Alina Gozin'a.
"Doolan likes the Infinite Monkey Theorem, which suggests that monkeys randomly banging on typewriters for an infinite amount of time would eventually produce the works of Shakespeare," Gozin'a told the LSE. "In this photograph, the same idea is applied for the Australian film industry – which meant only one monkey was afforded and at mates' rates!"
Doolan was nominated for an Oscar for his short film Miracle Fish and has also edited several award-winning films including Animal Kingdom. He is also the head of editing at AFTRS, where the portrait was shot.
