Photo Focus: InFocus Photo Exhibit & Awards
2020 will be the sixth (6!!!) exhibition for InFocus Photo and that is an accomplishment! InFocus Photo has grown from a weekend long exhibit to a show that spans two months. Emerging and professional photographers from across Canada are invited to submit their work to be considered for the show.
It is a great time to be a Canadian photographer.
My mission as InFocus Photo Curator is to discover new talent and create a platform for celebrating and displaying innovative, thoughtful, and outstanding imagery created by Canadians.
My husband, Aaron Chute, and I started InFocus in 2014 with a mission of helping photographers in the way I wish I had been when I first picked up a camera back in 2002. That fire to support others still burns at the heart of everything to do with InFocus Photo.
Please read on below to learn more about InFocus Photo and how you or a shutterbug you know can get involved with the 2020 exhibit and events.
THE MISSION OF INFOCUS PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION & AWARDS IS TO PROMOTE & EXHIBIT INNOVATIVE, THOUGHTFUL AND PROVOCATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY CREATED BY CANADIAN CONTEMPORARY IMAGE-MAKERS.
THE THEME OF INFOCUS 2020 IS “CHANGE.”
The photographers selected for InFocus 2020 will display photographs that speak to these ideas:
1. How has photography developed as a creative and documentary medium?
2. How has our world evolved?
3. How have we grown as people?
4. In what ways have we transformed as individuals?
5. What does ‘metamorphosis’ mean to you?
6. What ways are we more or less connected in 2020?
“CHANGE” is an abstract theme that speaks to all subject matters and styles, including fine art, portraiture, nature, urban landscapes, editorial, commercial, conceptual, documentary, journalistic, social commentary, architectural, still life, wildlife, travel, multi-medium, three dimensional, and beyond.
TELL US: HOW DOES YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY DEMONSTRATES “CHANGE”.
