INTERNATIONAL PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
ENTRY DEADLINE - MARCH 1
EXHIBITION DATES - MAY 2 - 30, 2025
Open to all photographers internationally.
Photographing the visual essence 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 will represent interesting aesthetic likenesses of people as the focus of the art of portraiture, featuring the essence of 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 looking to exhibiting the photographs of a wide range of people.
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.
