LENSCRATCH is creating exposure opportunities for photographers with group online exhibitions. Photographers will be allowed ONE entry per exhibition.
Discover our current and upcoming calls for entry below.
Jan 31 — New Beginnings
Exhibition Prospectus: Have you reached an exciting point in your creative journey, experimenting with new ideas, gear, lightning, processes, chemistry, locations, or subjects? If so, LENSCRATCH invites you to share your latest and most xciting explorations in our upcoming online exhibition, NEW BEGINNINGS, featuring photographic work created exclusively within the past year.
We’re seeking fresh, in-progress series in a vairet of genres and styles, from portraiture and documentary storytelling, to still life and new experimental visual directions. Your project does not need to be polished or complete. We are hungry for work in its earliest stages when ideas are still forming and edges remain rough, and why not, even a little messy.
Surprise us and show us what’s emerging in your practice! The most exciting and promising 100 photographs will be featured.
May this be an exciting, generative year for all!
