PERSONAL ESSENCE -
INTERNATIONAL PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
ENTRY DEADLINE - MARCH 31
EXHIBITION DATES - MAY 2 - 30, 2025
Open to all photographers internationally.
Documenting the intrinsic nature of the human form through capturing the personal essence of a person is the aim for achieving an outstanding portrait photograph. We tend to seek out to photograph a person purely because we find interesting visual forms and indispensable characteristics of a person, wishing to feature their individualistic visual essence. The act of capturing a moment through taking a photograph of someone in time is an important document of life. A range of emotional gestures and pure visual expressions are desired to show the range of personalities of the various people represented for their personal essence. The Personal Essence exhibition will feature various forms of photography, images of a broad range of takes on the portrait photography genre.
Each photograph will be considered based upon the merit of individual images submitted by each artist. Theme based entries are not necessary, and a range of different images are preferred.
Selected artists will have their work featured in the exhibition and online.

MONOCHROMATIC -
INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
ENTRY DEADLINE - MAY 1
EXHIBITION DATES - AUGUST 1 - 29, 2025
Open to all photographers internationally.
From subtle low contrast to high key contrast in the range of values of a black and white photograph the Monochromatic exhibition will represent photographs of a variety of different light and subject matter. When a classic black and white photograph is crafted well the grey tones are so stunningly rich that a viewer wouldn't only not miss the color but revel in the absence of color. From traditional film and darkroom photography to the digital imaging medium we are seeking those outstanding monochromatic greyscale photographs in this upcoming exhibition representing the mood, drama and silence captured through the black and white medium of photography.
Each photograph will be considered based upon the merit of individual images submitted by each artist. Series based entries are not necessary, and a range of different images are preferred.
Selected artists will have their work featured in the exhibition and online.
