Artists are invited to submit work exploring alternative and traditional photographic processes.
The 3rd Annual Alternative Photography Exhibition celebrates artists embracing historic, experimental and handmade photographic processes that continue to inspire contemporary image-making. This exhibition highlights the enduring power of analog photography and the unique material qualities that emerge through hand-crafted image-making. We welcome submissions from artists whose work reflects innovation, craftsmanship, and a personal vision.
This is a juried exhibition with consideration for work that 1) is rooted in historical processes or contemporary experimentation, and 2) has, at some step in the process, embraced analog photography. A few examples: Cyanotype, Platinum/Palladium, Wet Plate Collodion, Photogravure, Pinhole Photography, Camera-less Photography, Lumen Prints & Experimental Processes.
Artists wishing to participate must submit their work for consideration through Smarter Entry by Friday, October 2, 2026, at 11:59PM (EST). Artists will be notified of the jurors decision by October 10.
