1650 Gallery is hosting
the juried photography exhibition: I'LL BE YOUR MIRROR: THE PORTRAIT.
Great portraiture such as that produced by Dorothea Lange, Irving Penn,
Richard Avedon, Matthew Brady, Peter Hujar and Diane Arbus comprise one
of the main pillars of the Pantheon of photographic arts. The challenge
of capturing the personality behind the person requires both technical
know-how and an artist's eye, combining technique, intuition and
empathy. When done right, the unseen power of persona comes into focus
and, as if by magic -- personality seems to jump from the page. This
month 1650 Gallery tips our hat to the power of people pictures, and
welcomes your work in the blockbuster genre of photographic portraiture.
Approximately fifty
works will be chosen from submitted photographs to be included in the I'LL
BE YOUR MIRROR exhibition at 1650 Gallery in the Echo Park
neighborhood of Los Angeles. Additional works may also be selected for
an online gallery exhibition page.
There is an entry fee of $25 for up to 5 images. Additional entries may
be submitted for $5 each.
All accepted entries must submit a high res jpeg (300-360 dpi , minimum
size 5x7") to be included in the printed SHOW CATALOG.
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.
