Have you ever exhibited your photography? If not, you should try to submit to exhibition or two. There is nothing more rewarding or affirming than seeing your work on the wall in a gallery.

For mobile photographers, I have a perfect exhibition opportunity to share with you. The Arts Center in Corvallis is hosting a special exhibition of mobile photography this year, and I’m a juror. The deadline for submission is coming up on June 2, so read on for the details. I would love to have lots of my readers participate and make it into the show, helping me share the range of amazing art that can be created with a mobile device. Won’t you apply?

Expanding Vision: The Contribution of Mobile Photography

 
What: Call for photographs made with mobile devices (phones or tablets)

When: August 21 – September 28, 2014

Where: The Arts Center, Main Gallery, Corvallis, Oregon

Deadline to Apply:  June 2, 2014

How to Apply:  Online

Artists have embraced technology as an art-making process since photography became available in the 1800s. Each new technological advance increased the tools available for creativity and artistic expression through photography and mobile photography is no exception.  This method of image making has the potential for the greatest widespread influence of any type of photographic innovation. People who would never have considered themselves an artist, or even creative at all, now have the means to be just that with mobile device camera technology at their fingertips.

We are looking for the full breadth and depth of what mobile photography has to offer. While the chemical darkroom allowed some latitude for expression, the digital darkroom increases the possibilities for manipulation of images even more dramatically. Mobile devices have a myriad of programs and apps–all on the device itself–that give the photographer an incredible opportunity for creative expression. Mobile photography ranges from the representational to the abstract, from street photography, still lifes, portraits and landscapes to fully abstracted impressions. We hope to see examples of all these approaches, highlighting how mobile photography contributes to the expanding artistic vision of photography.

Eligibility:

• The Call is open to all individuals using a mobile device to take images.
• All images must have been taken in the last two years.
• Work previously exhibited at The Arts Center will not be accepted or presented to the jurors.

Terms and Parameters:

• The original image must be created and edited in its entirety on a mobile device, either phone or tablet.
• The submitting artist must be the owner of the image.
• All submissions must be via digital image uploaded via the submission form
• The $10 application fee must be received by the deadline. Applicants may submit up to 5 images for this amount.
