SCAD at Photo London featuring Mona Bozorgi and Emma Creighton Hopson

SCAD at Photo London featuring Mona Bozorgi 

and Emma Creighton Hopson

At the U.K.’s premier photography fair, Photo London, SCAD presents work by alumni Mona Bozorgi (M.F.A., photography, 2018) and Emma Creighton Hopson (M.F.A., photography, 2021). Questioning the materiality of their medium, both Bozorgi and Hopson reimagine constructs of image-making through the act of re-photographing. Each of their distinct practices contemplates ideas of womanhood and femininity in relation to patriarchal systems.

In her series Object Fatale, Bozorgi examines the commercialization of the body using a technique suggestive of product photography. By juxtaposing human bodies and objects, she channels photography’s transformative power into multilayered images that interrogate female objectification.

In her series Wish You Were Here You Are, Hopson rejects patriarchal idealizations of the maternal. Using herself and her children as primary subjects, she taps into a sense of nostalgia, growth, and the passing of time, reflecting both the illusory condition of photography and the nuances and complexities of motherhood.

AAP Magazine #32 B&W All About Photo

 

Our 32nd printed issue of AAP Magazine will feature the best projects showcasing the theme “Black and White”.

Black and white photography evokes poetry, nostalgia. The timelessness of black and white images focuses on its subjects, highlights contrasts, lines and enhances the power of light.

Reveal yourself!

“In black and white there are more colors than color photography, because you are not blocked by any colors so you can use your experiences, your knowledge, and your fantasy, to put colors into black and white.” – Anders Petersen

Send us your images – series preferably- celebrating the beauty and the power of black and white photography. Whether in portrait, landscape, nude, street or any other form of photography – classic or experimental: we’re open to all genres and we want to discover the best and most interesting photography from all over the world.

Abandoned The Chateau Gallery

 


Abandoned is an exhibition exploring abandoned and rediscovered objects, spaces, and structures. A popular genre in the photographic world is the trend of urban exploration (“urbex”) — the exploration of abandoned or forgotten places to document the narrative of those who lived or worked there. Through the captured image, we can glimpse the ephemeral nature and memory of ourselves and our surroundings and preserve them before being lost to time and place. What do these structures and objects convey about society as we leave them to decay? What is the essence of time and place, and what-or whom-are we abandoning?

Abandoned is an international juried group exhibition open to photographers ages 18 years and older. All black and white, color, conventional, non-traditional photographic, and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

Submission Deadline: May 15th, 2023

Juror Notifications: May 25th, 2023

Format: Online Exhibition

Exhibition: June 1st, 2023 - July 1st, 2023

 

Home is Where: Float Photo

 


A new call for entry for a printed newspaper print zine. Selected images will also be included in an online exhibition on Float’s website. This project is supported and partially funded by Newspaper Club.

What does a home mean to you? How does it look? Where is it located? Is it even a physical place/thing? This call for entry will be a survey of images that define what a home is for various artists in their own visual way. This is seemingly a simple concept, but it can also be a very elusive one that might have many meanings and different representations based on the artist identity, background, history and much more. This zine will be an exploration of what a home means and how artists capture this notion visually.

All types of photography are accepted and welcomed.
