Field Work: Nature and Landscape Photography

International Deadline: December 8, 2014 – Black Box Gallery will host a juried group photography show on nature and landscape photography. We will be looking for a wide range of photography that focuses on the natural elements of landscapes, wildlife, plants, and close-ups of natural scenes and textures. This show will be looking at the aesthetic values of craftsmanship and technique and quality of light and visual composition within the genre of landscape and nature photography such as trees, steams, birds and animals, flowers and plants, oceans, mountains, waterfalls, sunrise/sunsets, fall foliage, insects and spiders, gardens and parks. Show us your stories and experiences of the natural world through your pictures.

ELIGIBILITY
The exhibition is open to all photographers worldwide, both amateur and professional.

JUROR: Christopher O’Donnell
Christopher O’Donnell is an award-winning landscape photographer and educator. He has authored numerous e-books on photography and is an active contributor to many photography blogs and journals. His impressive and mesmerizing work in landscape and nature photography has inspired many photographers with his commitment to beauty, emotion, and serenity.

EXHIBITION
Each exhibition will have 24 photographs included by the juror for exhibition at the gallery.

An additional 30 photographs will be selected for exhibition in our on-line gallery annex.

All 54 photographs from the show will be included in a catalog available for purchase on Blurb Books.

RULES/GUIDELINES
Black Box provides free printing, matting and framing for all of our exhibitions. The photographers who are selected into the exhibition by the juror will provide a high resolution Tiff or JPEG file for our gallery to print.

We have 18" x 24" black frames. Our white mats are pre cut for 12" x 18", 12" x 12" and 12" x 16" prints (we also have a few other odd sized matts). We print on an Epson Stylus Pro archival ink jet printer, on Epson Premium Luster Photo paper, in a color-calibrated environment. This is a very accurate custom print, just like a custom lab would print, we have over 20 years of custom printing experience.

All exhibition prints will be kept in a flat file after the show for future sale and promotion for the photographer. This will allow the gallery to further promote our photographers and exhibitions to collectors, curators, critics and to the general public.

ENTRY FEE
$35 per entry (an entry includes up to 5 photos).
