Amanda Williams’ windfall was the result of her being awarded first prize in the MAMA Art Foundation National Photography Prize.
The Sydneysider moved judge Isobel Parker Philip with her gelling of composition and experimentation.
Williams’ work depicts a karst in Kosciuszko National Park with each print changing colour slightly because it is reproduced on unfixed photographic paper.
It is the highest winner’s tally in the prize’s history.
The $5000 John and Margaret Baker Memorial Fellowship for an emerging artist was given to Sydney’s Ioulia Terizis for her gelatin silver photographs.
The works of 12 finalists, which include a bread skull, are on show at MAMA in Albury until July 22.
