Black and white; the tuxedo of the photographic arts. Classic, compelling - always in style. Impeccable lineage, dating back to the earliest days of the craft. Nothing quite compares to the magic of a fine black and white photo. Inky blacks anchor a whirlwind of grays, topped with shimmering white highlights. Tradition, romance and adventure all rolled into one silvery mode of expression. This month, 1650 goes hardcore classic into the world of black and white
with IN THE ZONE, an exploration of black and white photography. Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
Approximately fifty works will be chosen from submitted photos to be included in the Hit Me With Your Best Shot group photography exhibition at 1650 Gallery in Los Angeles.
There is an entry fee of $35 for up to 5 images. Additional entries may be submitted for $5
each. We offer free matting and framing for accepted photographs that fit our pre-cut mat sizes for the duration of the exhibition. We have a variety of frames and mats to choose from. We will also print your photo for a nominal fee if you are accepted into the show and would prefer not to mail a print. Selected artists may choose to offer their work for sale. The gallery retains 50% sales commission.
AWARDS: Best In Show, 2nd Place and 3rd Place will be awarded and posted online after the show opening. Award winning photos will be featured on the show page and Best In Show winners will have a small portfolio of their
work (up to 10 images) featured in our 1650 Spotlight gallery of photographic excellence.
All Awards winners will also be featured in our 1650 Gallery newsletter, which is broadcast via email to our mailing list. Getting the word out about artists we're excited about helps you do more great work, helps us show more great work, and helps keep the often insular world of fine art photography more diverse and vibrant.
Good luck and hope to see you at the opening reception!
