PHOTO PLACE GALLERY: Capturing the Light

©Bob Newman
CAPTURING THE LIGHT
Photographers understand that the subject of every photograph is the light it reflects, and that the specific quality of that light can profoundly affect the power of the photograph. 

For this exhibit, we seek images whose success depends on the quality of the light. Whether light or dark, bright or dull, natural or artificial, the subject of these images is the magic, the possibilities, and the nuances of the light itself. Give us some thoughtful visual interpretations illustrating the word 'luminosity'. 

Any capture or process is welcome. 

Juror Laura Moya will select approximately 35 images for exhibition in the gallery, and 35 for our Online Gallery Annex. The recipients of the Juror's Award and the Director's Award will each be entitled to a portfolio review by Laura Moya. 

In addition, five copies of Amy Friend's book Dare Alle Luce (Italian for To Bring to the Light, published by Photolucida) will be distributed to five finalists.

About the Juror
We could not be more pleased that Laura Moya will jury this exhibit. Laura is the Director of Photolucida, in Portland, Oregon. She organizes Photolucida's biennial Portfolio Reviews event, Portland Photo Month, and project manages Photolucida's Critical Mass book award publications. She has juried for Critical Mass, Blue Sky Gallery's Northwest Drawers, Newspace Center for Photography, Photo District News, United Photo Industries/The Fence and PhotoPlace Gallery, and has written pieces for Finite Foto, Griffin Museum's Critic's Pick, and Photo-eye's blog.
