Exhibition Opportunity: The Photographer in the Frame

Don’t Take Pictures strives to showcase the work of emerging photographers. In addition to publishing photography in print, and online in our monthly columns, we also publish quarterly online exhibitions.

A photographer’s most reliable subject is his or her self. By turning the camera on oneself, the photographer is brought out from behind their lens, exploring or manipulating their identity. There is a performative aspect to self-portraiture. The photographer invites judgement and critique on not only their artistic message, but also their appearance and demeanor. For this online exhibition, Don’t Take Pictures seeks self-portraits that provide insight into the “second self” that appears when artist becomes subject.

The exhibition will be published online from February 20 — May 21.

Deadline: February 17
