‘Most people think that shadows follow, precede, surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses, and memories.’ – Elie Wiesel.

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that explores the formal, conceptual, and metaphoric implications of the shadow. Submissions may focus on the shadow as pure visual form expressed through the creation of line, shape, pattern, and texture. They may also examine the cultural and psychological implications of the shadow – exploring ideas of foreboding, internal conflict, passages into the unconsciousness, or other ephemeral interpretations.

Juror Lori Pond says, “Salvador Dali, Hieronymus Bosch and Jerry Uelsmann all had one thing in common. They all created surrealistic art.

Technically speaking, surrealism seeks to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, by using irrational juxtapositions, dream analysis and automatic writing (among many other methods) as inspirations for creating art.

This call is looking for adventurous, fearless artists to present photographs that emanate from the deepest parts of their unconscious minds.

Take a look at the artists listed above and see examples of surrealism that represent the concept particularly well.”

The Image Flow invites artists closely tied to the LGBTQIA2+ community to submit work to our juried photography exhibition Queer Conscience 2023.

What could you do with a clear conscience? Who could you be? How could you live, free of judgment, shame, expectation, or fear?

The queer experience is unlike any other, and even within our vibrant community, no two queer identities are quite alike. This is what has the power to unite us; a respect for our differences that can create bonds like family. Living as a queer person can be complex, and frightening, and beautiful all at once.

Prospectus

Silence is always conceived against its opposites; sound, noise, loudness. Silence is strongly associated with loneliness and alienation, the unknown and disturbing landscape on the one hand, and the known tranquility and peace on the other hand. Photographically, the contrast between deep darkness and dazzling light is also decisive. After natural or social catastrophes, everything falls silent; empty cities, villages, abandoned public transport and empty workplaces remind us for the transience and fragility of humankind. Silence is accompanied by quiet activities such as contemplation and meditation, which negate the very nature of action itself. Silence is also often present in still life, cityscapes, portraits, and many other photographic genres.

Prospectus

Can a photograph show us the true essence of a human being? Can we, as photographers, capture the human expression going beyond the surface?
Our worlds are richer through our everyday interactions with others. When we face each other, we are accessing a deeper understanding of one another, our mental health and well-being improve, it helps to develop our social engagement skills and it makes us see one another.

We are looking for images that embody this idea. The images can be any type of photography including phone cameras!

“Women hold up half the sky” is, ironically, a 1968 quote from Chinese Communist Party chairman Mao Zedong. China’s first constitution stipulated that “Women enjoy equal rights with men in political, economic, cultural, education and social life”. Years later that has not translated to top party positions for women, but the expression has been widely adopted by artists and authors around the world to signify the equality of women.

The juror for this competition is the esteemed photographer Aline Smithson, a visual artist best known for her conceptual portraiture and a practice that uses humor and pathos to explore the performative potential of photography.

Prospectus

The power of photography as a tool for storytelling lies in its ability to convey the impression that the image captured within the frame is an accurate representation of a specific moment in time. However, every narrative is inherently limited by the selective inclusion and exclusion of certain elements. This is a crucial aspect of photographic storytelling; it is not only about what is presented within the frame but also what is left out of the frame – and left to the viewer’s imagination – granting interpretive liberty (or poetic license) to both the creator and the viewer.

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that explore the development of visual narratives through a poetic lens. The stories may take any form ranging from literal depictions to fantasy or fiction, they may be complex or minimalist in approach. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

Prospectus

In the past, people used to write down their daily experiences in diaries. More and more artists use photography to make visual notes about their lives. The visual diary has become a common practice of modern storytelling. Famous photographers and artists have used this form for decades. They made self-portraits, shots of people they met, still life’s of personal objects, spaces they lived in and meaningful landscapes. Put your creative response to life in your own visual diary. Be bold, personal, and unrestricted, and send us your life experiences in intimate images.

Walking anywhere in the world at different times of day you can see dramatic changes as the light goes from midday bright to dusk. Early morning/late afternoon light can transform a simple scene to one of great interest as shadows grow longer and shorter. Consider city streets with shadows of tall buildings crossing sidewalks, cars, busses and people. Similarly bright light casting shadows on a flight of stairs creates a canvas of black and white stripes. Just as powerful are shots where the impact of the image is derived from patterns in the composition such as the line-up of palm trees in the tropics with the shadows cast along a sandy beach, rows of theater chairs etc. Different images, interesting interpretations of your own shadow are welcome as well. Be creative – send us your best.

Open internationally for image-based artists, this call invites submissions for street photographs from across the world.

In the wake of the pandemic era, faced with tumultuous global political upheavals and threats brought about by economic disparities and the climate crisis, can we offer new pathways into personal stories, moments and experiences in public spaces? Thresholds will outline a panoramic view of global street photography at a moment when the mere idea of public spaces has been radically shifted.

Covid forced us into isolation and separation from one another while paradoxically opening up our homes and providing us with direct access to countless cities through our devices. Between this micro-locality and expanded globalization, Thresholds seeks to explore our changing relationships with our streets and one another: how do we choose where to turn our look, how do we capture others and how do we allow ourselves to be seen? This virtual exhibition investigates access to our spaces, how we reconnect in public settings, and in the wake of Covid, what has changed in our vision of the world.

For the 33rd edition of Encontros da Imagem, we wish to explore the challenges that the world continues to experience and keep up the necessary conversations on topics such as representation, inclusion, environmental sustainability, the politics of everyday life, and the power of change held by social movements. There is an urgent need to stop and listen. While democracy weakens and extremists gain ground in the frenzy of both virtual and real life, we wish to take a step back and think of new forms of organization, ways of life, and creation.

Encontros da Imagem returns to Braga this year between September 15 and October 28, with a new leadership and an approach that looks forward while using the past as guidance. With exhibitions also in Porto, Guimarães, and Barcelos, we hope to democratize photography for its fruition and creation — and to hear both the individual and collective experience.

Prospectus

Gender inequality marks one of the most pervasive and persistent patterns in the distribution of power. We see evidence of this, nearly invisible and overt, everywhere. Billions of women still lack the same legal rights and equal economic opportunities as men. The COVID-19 pandemic has widened inequalities, including by decreasing male life expectancy and negatively impacted women’s career progression and financial security. Wars, famines and natural disasters have had more severe impacts on the well-being of women. And Global Health 50/50’s research shows that male leadership pervades in organisations active in global health.

This paints a bleak picture of gender equality in 2023. Can we reframe and reimagine gender equalities and inequalities through visual media – and envision what it means to be human and to be equal? Moments of true equality exist – how can we capture them and enable these moments to flourish?

The This is Gender (In)Equality Open Call aims to collate diverse representations of gendered power, relationships, and experiences, from the intimate private space of the household to the highest levels of political decision-making.

Pasadena Photography Arts (PPA) is so excited to launch The PPA Photo Award: A Celebration of Visual Storytelling! As an effort to further support our growing community, one project will be awarded a $2000 cash prize, published interview on the PPA website, and a virtual hosted artist talk.

The jury panel will be composed of Pasadena Photography Arts Advisors alongside guest juror Ibarionex Perello for the final round decision.

For this award, PPA seeks narrative projects that form a cohesive body of work. Narrative photography is based on the idea that photographs can tell a story, whether through elements in the images themselves, the sequencing and juxtaposition of images, or where images of discrete moments come together to convey greater meaning. The award goes to those projects that best express the process of conveying emotion or events from a series of images. Examples include, but are by no means limited to, personal stories, family or community histories, world news, the arc of time, or some other connected group or series of events, perhaps playing with truth vs fiction, or the creative interpretation of a time and place or activity.

Doug has recently become the owner and publisher of Shots Magazine, a quarterly independent journal of fine-art photography, now in it’s 32nd year of publication. Shots has long been his favorite photo magazine!

35-40 Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date.

Prospectus

There are two kinds of photographs with respect to the significance of their use of colours. On the one hand, ever since colour film technology became widely available, colour has become the default in most photographic practices. That is, some photographs are in colour not because their colours bear some special significance (compared, for instance, to their possible black and white counterparts) but simply because the available film or digital technology has long turned colour to be the common method of capturing photographic images. We may think of these photographs as colour by default. On the other hand, colours are often central to the meaning of photographs for their emphatic, symbolic, psychological, social, compositional, etc. significance. These photographs would not work in black and white the same way or they would not work at all; that they are in colour is not merely a technological given, rather, it is an integral, formative and significant aspect of their photographic meaning. We may think of these photographs as colour by significance.

Let yourself be captivated by the ordinary, for it is in those moments that you will find true beauty. Show us STILL from your perspective.
