Sam Harris - 2016 AIPP Australian Photography Book of the Year

'I'm delighted to win this award! i really am very grateful and honoured. 

It's great to see photobooks and the photobook community evolving in Australia and that Australian Photobooks are being recognised at home and internationally. There's a lot happening with photobooks, it's certainly an exciting time. Photobooks are a great way to get inspiration and also to share our work. I believe photobooks are the ultimate destination for photography, so I'm over the moon that 'The Middle of Somewhere' has received this award! Thanks to everyone involved'.
