Years pass. People change. Places disappear. Entire parts of our lives quietly fall out of reach. And yet, some photographs remain impossibly close to us. Not because they are perfect, but because they continue holding something we were never fully able to leave behind.

Decagon Gallery invites photographers worldwide to submit one photograph only: the image they never left behind.

We are not searching for spectacle or technical perfection. We are interested in photographs that continue carrying emotional weight — images tied to memory, attachment, intimacy, grief, distance, tenderness, longing, or time. The strongest photographs will feel lived rather than constructed. They may be quiet, unresolved, visually restrained, or emotionally difficult to explain.

We are less interested in nostalgia itself than in the traces it leaves behind. What matters is whether something remains inside the image long after it was taken.

Water and sky have long formed the visual and symbolic foundation of landscape photography. They remain spaces of atmosphere, reflection, movement, and transition. Water reflects the sky while recording weather, light, and motion; clouds dissolve, gather, and obscure the horizon.

From sea to river, ocean to puddle, these elemental forms shift through color, texture, scale, and changing conditions. Water & Sky invites photographic work that explores the relationship between surface and depth, presence and distance, observation and sensation through the evolving language of landscape photography.

When we say non-traditional, we don’t speak in terms of subject matter, but rather in terms of the way the image was created. We want to see work where the artist pushed beyond traditional methods.

Architectural photography: The photographing of buildings and similar structures that are aesthetically pleasing and accurate representations of their subjects.Throughout the history of photography, buildings have been highly valued photographic subjects, mirroring society’s appreciation for architecture and its cultural significance.

As building designs changed and broke with traditional forms, architectural photography also evolved. During the early-to-mid-20th century, architectural photography became more creative as photographers used lines and bold shadows in their compositions, and experimented with other techniques, resulting in architectural photography being viewed as more of an art form.

The SE Center is looking for all forms of architectural imagery, urban or rural, black-and-white and color, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.

Show us the elements that abstract into light, texture, shape and shadow.

Understanding shape and form is one of the pillars of photography composition, and it can make even the most mundane objects become an object of art in its own right. Geometric, organic, positive or negative, shapes influence the degree of aesthetic beauty perceived when we first look at a photograph.

Send us your best photographs where shapes may not just influence the image, but where it may also be the subject solely. Whether in architecture, portrait, landscape, nude, street or any other form of photography – classic or experimental: we’re open to all genres and we want to discover the best and most interesting projects from all over the world.

Some photographs reveal. Others withhold.

Seen / Unseen invites work that engages with what is visible and what remains hidden—within the frame, within the subject, or within the photograph itself. This may take the form of portraiture, or images where meaning is suggested rather than stated.We are interested in photographs that hold tension: between presence and absence, clarity and ambiguity, exposure and concealment. What is shown is only part of the image. What is implied, obscured, or left unresolved carries equal weight.

There is a lot of space here for magical and poetic pictures, explore your technique and ideas, the gallery looks forward to hosting a dynamic and exciting exhibition.

For our upcoming issue, Let’s Get the F@!#k Outta Here, Float invites artists to consider humanity’s growing fascination with looking beyond Earth. In recent years—and especially in recent months—conversations surrounding Mars, UFOs, space travel, and extraterrestrial life have moved from the realm of science fiction into everyday culture. As we look toward the sky searching for answers, meaning, possibility, or escape, we are left wondering: what does it mean to imagine a life beyond our own world?

While photographs of the sky, stars, planets, and astronomical phenomena are certainly welcome, we also encourage artists to think more broadly about space and our relationship to it. We are interested in photographic works that engage with the emotional, psychological, philosophical, and scientific ideas surrounding the unknown. What hopes, fears, fantasies, technologies, myths, and desires shape our understanding of what lies beyond Earth? Through photography and lens-based work, we invite artists to explore the space between wonder and uncertainty, science and belief, reality and imagination.

Submissions may focus on the shadow as pure visual form expressed through the creation of line, shape, pattern, and texture.

All lens-based artwork is welcome. Juror: Ann Jastrab
