Sean Fennessy | Photographer
The Australian
When I was studying photography at school I would religiously scan the pages of The Australian to check out the photos. At the time, the extraordinary Trent Parke was working as a sports photographer on the paper and I used to tear out his photos for my art journal.
10 years later and one of my shots has made the cover. Self-congratulations all round!
The pic was taken in the minutes before a leaders debate during the Tasmanian election campaign and shows a nervous encounter between my old mate David Bartlett and Liberal leader Will Hodgman.
Not the most amazing shot ever taken but a nice surprise nonetheless.
