“NUDE GEOGRAPHIES” Photo Competition
Theme: “NUDE GEOGRAPHIES”
The nude form has been portrayed in art throughout history, from the classical era to the enlightenment and the modern era. The nude figure in western art – specifically in photography – has expressed ideals of female and male beauty along with other human qualities including life, energy, and an array of complicated human emotions. It has also presented contemporary depictions of the nude that challenge historical notions of ideal beauty.
Praxis Gallery presents photographic works that explore the nude in any of its varied styles including: figure studies, environmental nudes, implied nudes and erotica – just to name a few of the many iterations of this genre. All genres, capture types, black & white, and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic, and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
Awards:
- Thirty images will be selected by the juror for exhibition at Praxis Gallery (Exhibition Dates: Sept 21 – Oct 12 2024).
