Opportunity Summary
Color can transform the ordinary, shape a mood, draw our attention, and change the way we experience a photograph.
Photo Artfolio invites photographers to submit work for Colorscapes, an online exhibition exploring the expressive power of color in photography.
From bold, saturated hues to subtle palettes and tonal relationships, we seek photographs in which color plays an essential role. It might be the unexpected collision of colors on a city street, the shifting tones of a landscape, a portrait defined by its palette, or an abstract composition built entirely around color, light, and form.
We welcome images that use color to evoke emotion, create atmosphere, reveal connections, or simply celebrate the visual pleasure of seeing the world in color. Colorscapes is open to all photographic genres and approaches, including documentary, portraiture, street, landscape, nature, architecture, still life, conceptual, fine art, and experimental photography.
Show us how color shapes the way you see!
