Same but Different The New York Center for Photographic Arts (NYC4PA) invites photographers world-wide to submit images using any photographic process (print, image transfer, emulsion transfer, encaustic, black and white, etc.).

For this call NYC4PA is challenging photographers to pair two photographs and submit them in diptych format (both images in one file). The images in each file will be “almost” the same but different enough to make each unique. You may have two versions of an image that you processed differently, or the same scene shot at different times of day. Have you taken two portraits of the same person with a feature or features that distinguish the images. The possibilities are endless and the room for interpretation and creativity equally vast.

2023 Krappy Kamera® Competition

What is a Krappy Kamera?
Our philosophy at Soho Photo Gallery is that in the hands of any artist great photographs can be made with basic equipment. To explore this talent, we are searching for extraordinary photographs made with lousy lenses. Examples of some Krappy Kameras are the Holga, Diana, Ansco, and pinhole cameras. You can also create your own Krappy Kamera by using your non-Krappy Kamera (e.g., 4×5, SLR, DSLR) and exchanging the lens with a Krappy lens (e.g., pinhole body cap or Holga-type lens). Cell phones, disposables and point and shoot cameras are ineligible. Remember, just because a camera is old and moldy doesn’t make it Krappy. The lens is the determining factor.

Submission
The competition is open to all photographers 18 years old and older, excluding members of Soho Photo Gallery. Use the link below to upload your digital entries and payment.

Awards
First Place $300, Second Place $200, and Third Place $100 will be awarded as well as three honorable mentions.

The Psychology of Night. For almost two centuries, night photography has captured the creative imagination. There is a long photographic tradition of capturing the scenes and moods of the night and low light. From the 19th century long exposures, to high-speed color films and digital technology, the subject of night has inspired many contemporary artists.

There is a certain psychology of the night. The night can be an incredibly suggestive time. Mystery, introspection, quiet or loud, and behaviors not abiding by the mainstream rules of the day, with the darkness useful for creating mystery or an unnerving atmosphere. Scenes we overlook during the day often take on a fascinating new appearance at night – in a literal or abstract way.

Urban street scenes, portraits, documentary, landscapes, conceptual, still life … All subjects, genres, capture types, color or black & white are welcome for submission.

Show us life at night, the night’s effect on the mind, the body, the nature or the city, as well as self-expression afforded in times when most are asleep.
