Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts - Landscapes: Real or Imagined

This call for entries is presented with a thought to updating how we define the genre, which landscapes we chose to celebrate, which to remember, and how we might imagine a brighter future.

This is an open opportunity to Explore, Capture, and Document a broad range of landscapes, from the natural to the constructed, from the pristine to human constructs or interventions… we also welcome all images that look like landscapes, but might be just a trick of the eye or the product of an active imagination.

Landscape photography has evolved since the time of Carleton Watkins, William Henry Jackson and more recently the work of Ansel Adams, who’s work typically defines the popular notion of what landscape photography should look like. While we look to honor these early pioneers, and celebrate contemporary practitioners carrying on their traditions, we are looking to offer a wider lens to provide a more expansive and updated presentation of Landscape Photography Today.
