LIKENESS
Photographing the visual likeness of a person as well as capturing the genuine quality of someone is a decisive documentation to mark a moment in a persons life. One of the rewarding challenges of portrait photography is to have the ability to viscerally communicate observations of a person and translate that into the photograph. Recording the fleeting moments of mannerisms, expressions and gestures of someone in a click of the shutter is a compelling experience, as time is always changing. The act of observing a moment in time and successfully recording that act by pointing the cameras gaze on someone is one of the most complementary gestures that a person can give. This exhibition represents interesting aesthetic likenesses of people as the focus of the art of portraiture, featuring the human likeness in all of its forms, whether it is a documentary approach, a snapshot genre, if it is a fashion statement, an editorial statement, or simply a straight forward compositional body study, we are exhibiting the photographs of a wide range of people.

GREEN - INTERNATIONAL COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
ENTRY DEADLINE - JANUARY 10
EXHIBITION DATES - APRIL 5 - 26, 2024
Open to all photographers internationally. Open to photographic media.
The color of green as a subject matter can be photographed from a variety of viewpoints, capturing images of green literally or conceiving photographs conceptually. Ranging from chartreuse to jade to emerald, the primary color of green can be approached in a straight forward manner in all of its tones, tints and shades. The Green exhibition will encompass photographs of a wide range of genre focusing on the hue of green lying somewhere on the color spectrum between blue and yellow. Green can be found in abundance on the earth in the various forms and species of vegetation, ranging from the wide open fields of grass and plant life to the denseness of forests. Also, implications of the symbolism and emotions of green can be explored. Green is seen synonymously as burgeoning, to grow, someone new to a skill, or green can be interpreted psychologically as a person being green with envy for instance, referring to currency, or green can imply environmentalism or the manner in which methods are good for the earth. The photographs in the Green exhibition will feature various approaches to the concept and color of green.
Each photograph will be considered based upon the merit of individual images submitted by each photographer. 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.
