The Shape Of Things

2022, July 14 @ 08:00 - 2022, July 31 @ 17:00 CEST

The rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values is for me the essence of photography; composition should be a constant of preoccupation… an organic coordination of visual elements. – Henri Cartier-Bresson

The term composition means ‘putting together’ or the act of combining parts or elements to form a whole – often adhering to compositional principles that make a work of photographic art more appealing or intriguing to viewers. These principles include the development of rhythm, movement, contrast, balance, unity, proximity, and continuity to create expressive and compelling compositions – while emphasizing different visual concepts.

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of works of art that explore composition as a fundamental aspect of the photographic aesthetic – be it pure visual formalism or in support of thematic objectives. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

JUROR | ELIZABETH FLINSCH
Elizabeth Flinsch is a photography educator, curator, and the editor of SHOTS Magazine. Based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, SHOTS is an independent print journal of black and white photography founded in 1986. Elizabeth curates’ submissions, interviews featured artists, and designs the magazine from cover to cover. Elizabeth’s own artistic roots in traditional printmaking show up in her affinity for alternative photographic processes.
