Climate change is everywhere. It’s in the melting icebergs of Antartica, in the rising sea levels of Greenland, the dangerously hot deserts of Sudan, the starving polar bears of Norway, and the refugees displaced from the the Pacific islands. It’s also in photographs, and for our upcoming group show, we invite you to submit images that evidence the wide-ranging effects of a worldwide phenomenon. We are firm believers in the idea that with awareness comes change, and photographers have a crit...

When you hear the words “salted paper print,” your mind probably travels back in time to the 1840s, to Henry Fox Talbot and the archives of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the world’s best art historians and conservators pore over delicate prints. You'd be wrong to think the century’s old process—along with others like it, the albumen or platinum print, the ziatype, gum bichromate—have been relegated to the annals of photographic history. Indeed, there are contemporary art...

Maine-based photographer David McLain has lived amongst the eskimos of Greenland, harpooned his own food, and traversed the rugged terrain by dog sled. He’s met residents of the village of Sardinia, up in the mountains of Italy, where the people are so healthy it’s common for them to see the age of 100. Most recently, he’s teamed up with a preeminent and as-yet-unnamed healthcare professional to examine what it really means to “heal.” McLain has seen photography fads come and go, but b...

Marcella Hazan, the recently departed Italian food writer, famously said, “Cooking is an art, but you eat it too.” In recent years, photography and food have collided in a big way, from famous photographers who have taken the unlikely route of shooting cookbooks to others who have used food to build full-blown gallery installations. Now, we’re looking for your images capturing the intersection of art and food, whatever that means to you, from food photographed artfully to art made out of f...

“Up! up!” begins William Wordsworth’s 1798 ballad The Tables Turned, in which the poet implores mankind to leave behind his daily drudgery for the outdoors and all its wonders. Ripping us from our books, our obligations, and our worries, he asks that we simply step outside, for the wilderness indeed “May teach you more of man / Than all the sages can.”

When it comes to websites, it’s safe to say that photographers are held to a higher standard. While other businesspeople can sometimes get away with looking less than polished online, image is everything in the world of photography, and if even the most expertly shot portfolio isn’t presented in an attractive way, it won’t leave a lasting impression.

When Brooklyn-based photographer Justin Bettman awake at 4:00 in the morning to install elaborate domestic stage sets across the streets of New York. it’s unlikely he could have anticipated starting a movement. Along with set designer Gözde Eker, Bettman constructed ephemeral installations in public sites throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, where passersby could stop for a moment and play. He titled the project #SetintheStreet.

The American terrain has been charted by cameras since the heroic landscape photographers of early 19th century and their visions of Westward expansion. Today, it takes a rare marriage of thoughtful composition and groundbreaking technology to capture landscapes that truly propel the photographic medium forward. Tampa-based outdoor photographer and leading Photoshop expert Matt Kloskowski brings together a masterly understanding of the landscape genre and a daring, innovative perspective on digi...

Nan Goldin once said of children, “They’re closer to whatever it is—where we come from and where we go.” Photographing childhood for her book Eden and After was her way of returning to that essential purity of spirit and understanding that’s gradually lost as we age. Before “they're taught to forget,” young people hold within them the key to the great mysteries of humankind, if only we dare to listen to what they have to say. For our upcoming group show, we invite you to send ...
