Description

CALL FOR ENTRIES | THE TELLING IMAGE | AN INTERNATIONAL JURIED PHOTO EXHIBITION

Entry Deadline | June 15th, 2018

Notice of Acceptance | June 27th, 2018

Exhibition Dates | July 13th – August 8th, 2018

THEME | THE TELLING IMAGE

The photograph’s power as a narrative tool is derived from the impression that what is captured within the frame is an accurate representation of what actually occurred at a specific moment in time. As complete or comprehensive as any narrative may appear to be, it will always be subject to a process of including some elements and excluding others. These inclusions and exclusions are a crucial part of what photographic storytelling is all about - What is being presented within the frame to the viewer – and what is being left out or left to the viewer’s imagination.

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic works that explore the development of visual narratives through the still image. Stories may take any shape or form; they may be literal or fantasy, documentary or fiction; complex or minimal. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
