Photography is more than documentation—it is creation. Staged & Constructed - The Art of Setting the Scene explores the artistry of staged, propped, and deliberately composed photographs, where every element within the frame is purposefully arranged. This theme highlights the orchestration of sets, props, lighting, composition, and subject to construct immersive visual narratives.

From cinematic tableaux to intimate theatrical vignettes, this exhibition showcases images that blur the line between reality and artifice. Whether inspired by theater, film, or pure imagination, these works reveal the power of photographic illusion, inviting viewers into carefully crafted worlds.

All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
