WHITE - INTERNATIONAL ACHROMATIC PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION - EARLY ENTRY DEADLINE - MAY 1

AUGUST 2026 EXHIBITION -

Open to all photographers internationally.

White being the reflection of all light wavelengths makes it a visual sensation of all colors. White is the absence of color when viewed as a pigment, while it is physically the presence of all colors of light wavelengths. The photographs featured in the White exhibition will encompass images comprised of various chromatic colors with the emphasis being on the lightest end of the color spectrum. Varying degrees of the absence or presence of saturation, white can be approached photographically as a neutral in contrast to dark hues, or as varying shades of color with white being the dominant visual element.

Each photograph will be considered based upon the merit of individual images submitted by each artist. Theme based entries are not necessary. A brief artist statement is optional. Selected artists will have their work featured in the exhibition and online.
