Theme: Contemporary Color Photography – A Call for Entries

Black Box Gallery warmly welcomes photographers from all backgrounds to participate in our juried group exhibition dedicated to the theme of color in contemporary photography. We are looking for artists who explore how color shapes the mood, meaning, and impact of their work. This show is an open platform for creative voices using color in innovative, personal, and visually compelling ways.

Color is a central force in photographic storytelling. It can set a tone, define a space, evoke nostalgia, or challenge perception. This exhibition invites submissions across all forms of photography: landscape, street, fashion, abstract, documentary, portrait, conceptual, night photography, and more. Whether your approach is subtle or bold, we're interested in how you use color to express your photographic vision.
