PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE
"A good photograph is knowing where to stand"
- Ansel Adams
We
all have a unique way of looking at things, a singular vision that can
be enhanced and polished by our observations of the world around us
through our lens. Asked to photograph the same scene, several
photographers may see roughly the same gestalt, but there's always one,
or the few, mavericks who find a way to pick out details or angles that
others don't see or don't regard as
important.
Juror for Personal Perspective is well known photographer and educator Saul Robbins (http://www.saulrobbins.com/).
Saul Robbins is interested in the ways people interact within their
surroundings and the psychological dynamics of intimacy. His photographs
are motivated by observations of human behavior and personal
experience, especially those related to loss, unity, failure, and the
latent potential residing in traditional photographic materials and
personal history. Robbins is best known for his series Initial Intake, which
examines the empty chairs of Manhattan-based psychotherapy
professionals from their clients' perspective. He has also worked with
abstract imagery in his series Chemical Peels. Members of the Darkroom Gallery Meetup Group who attended Robbins' 2013 workshop, Strategies for Photographic Business Success,
still talk about the workshop, saying that Robbins' acute observation
made for invaluable portfolio reviews. Don't miss this chance to let him
see your work.
SUBMISSIONS CLOSE AT 11:59PM EDT ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25!
