PH21 Gallery: Call for Entries - Portraiture

 

Calls for Submissions - Photography - Photo Gallery

A juried international photography exhibition. November 24 – December 13, 2016. Exhibit in Europe! Portraiture emerged as one of the most prominent genres of depictive media early in the history of the visual arts, and the tacit or explicit rules, conventions and cultural expectations have always influenced the ways by which artists approached the genre. Photography is no exception; numerous different and characteristic styles of portraiture emerged throughout the history of the medium. Today we live in an exciting new era for portraiture. There has never been a time in human history when so many portraits were produced day after day as in the era of digital technologies. Photographers have responded to the cultural, social and technological changes by reinterpreting the age-old genre of portraiture, and it is always an exciting and rewarding task to organize an exhibition for some of the recent achievements in the field. PH21 Gallery invites photographers to submit their work for a group exhibition themed Portraiture. We are looking for submissions from all photographers who are interested in this genre, and who would like to share their work with a wider international audience through the exposure of PH21 Gallery. The theme is broadly construed; from traditional fine art portraits to selfies, people may be portrayed in countless unique ways. Indeed, we are interested in all possible creative photographic interpretations of the theme.

Far from the frenzied bustle of the ever more ubiquitous urban landscape dwells a simpler life, a place where nature is a part of being, not an obstacle to overcome or a force to be subdued. And as man's presence on our tiny blue ball grows, these natural places grow increasingly rare and precious. Join us this time as 1650 is goin' up the country in search of simpler lives and greener pastures. Whether you prefer to shoot small town living in Utah or Uganda, 1650 wants to see your communes and communities, your tribes and treehouses, from anywhere in the world. So this month join 1650 as we tune in, turn on and drop out, head out to a little patch of green on the path less traveled and celebrate SMALL TOWNS AND RURAL PLACES. Your blood pressure will thank you in the morning. Approximately fifty works will be chosen from submitted photos to be included in the SMALL TOWNS & RURAL PLACES group photography exhibition at 1650 Gallery in Los Angeles. Best In Show, 2nd Place and 3rd Place will be awarded and posted online after the show opening. There is an entry fee of $35 for up to 5 images. Additional entries may be submitted for $5 each.
