noreply@blogger.com (CURRENT PHOTO CONTEST) — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 03:19:00 +0000

Submissions Close on 02/14/2011 at Midnight EST

Where do art and fashion meet? That’s the gray area we’re looking to showcase for “Fashioning Photography.” Since the 1990’s, the two have benefited from constant cross-fertilization. We are taking fashion photography very seriously as a result.
Is it the droves of visitors that appear in museums and galleries with the Fashion Photography exhibit? Is it the income available to Photographers who bend a little into the commercial realm? Is it our fascination for lifestyle imaging that has created the booming magazine culture and therefore elevated the fashion spread to be endlessly alluring to the artist? There is so much diversity and energy in contemporary fashion photography that artists everywhere are turning to it as a subject matter; it’s an obsession and a compulsion.

Eligibility: Worldwide

Entry Fee: US$20

Prizes: All selected entries are included in a full color exhibit catalog and may use free framing and matting subject to standard sizes. Juror's Choice receives a 20x35" Vinyl Exhibit Banner featuring their photo.
