The Still(ed) Life: Celebrating Handmade Photographic Art
In what often seems like an increasingly chaotic and fast-moving world, finding the beauty in stillness seems ever more meaningful. In this call, we celebrate the creation of the handmade print, using historic/alternative photographic printing techniques. All 2-D and 3-D handmade art is acceptable. We look forward to seeing your own unique interpretations of The Still(ed) Life.
All submitted works must be created by the hand of the artist, including- but not limited to: silver gelatin; platinum/palladium; albumen; cyanotype; gum bichromate; wet-plate collodion; photo gravure; carbon; vandyke brown; traditional printmaking; and other alternative and historic printing processes. The use of digital negatives in creating these processes is acceptable, although inkjet (digital) prints and AI-derived works (because of copyright considerations) are not eligible.
