INTERNATIONAL PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
ENTRY DEADLINE - MARCH 1
EXHIBITION DATES - MAY 2 - 30, 2025
Open to all photographers internationally.
Documenting the personal essence of people in our lives by capturing the pure personality of a person through a range of emotional gestures is a rewarding visual experience. We all have the people in our lives that are important to us personally and the act of capturing a moment in time through taking a photograph of someone is one of the most flattering gestures that a person can give. As well we tend to seek out to photograph people purely because we find people who are visually interesting and wish to capture their visual essence. This exhibition will represent personal essence through photographs of people captured in all their forms; close up details, expressive gestures, head shots, body studies, images of a wide 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.
