Submissions are now open for CREATURES, Dusk Gallery's latest photographic exhibition celebrating the incredible diversity of animal life across the globe. This exhibition welcomes images that explore the relationship between animals and their environments, highlighting moments of instinct, survival, beauty, and behaviour in both wild and human-influenced landscapes.

Photographers are encouraged to submit work featuring animals in every setting imaginable—from dense forests and open plains to city streets, coastlines, wetlands, mountains, aquariums, and expansive skies. Subjects may be photographed while resting, hunting, foraging, nesting, migrating, interacting with others, or simply occupying their natural space. Both common and rare species are equally welcome, with every image offering a unique perspective on the lives of the world's creatures.

The exhibition embraces the full spectrum of photographic expression. Candid observations, carefully planned compositions, intimate close-ups, dramatic wildlife encounters, fine art interpretations, monochrome studies, and richly coloured images are all encouraged. Regardless of technique or subject, CREATURES aims to showcase photography that captures the spirit, character, and extraordinary presence of animals in all their forms.
