Photobook Cafe and Rapid Eye Darkrooms are thrilled to announce the launch of our second quarterly Open Call series, and we’re inviting you to take part in this creative adventure. This October, our theme is Gorecore, a bold and edgy exploration of fashion photography that pushes boundaries and challenges conventional aesthetics.
We’re calling on photographers of all levels to join us in an exciting exploration of the satirical appreciation of unfiltered fashion photography. Our goal is to highlight the ways in which photographers can capture and present alternative perspectives on contemporary fashion and popular culture. By embracing raw, unrefined imagery, participants will have the chance to reflect on and reinterpret modern trends in a way that subverts expectations and opens up fresh dialogues around beauty, style, and the broader cultural zeitgeist.
Through this theme, we aim to encourage participants to dive deep into the intersection of fashion and cultural commentary, offering a space where the unfiltered and imperfect are not only accepted but celebrated. We want to see the work that questions the polished, glossy images we’re used to and instead embraces authenticity, satire, and creativity in its most unapologetic forms.
Whether you're drawn to the darker elements of fashion, or you have a talent for creating work that pokes fun at conventional beauty standards, this Open Call is your opportunity to showcase your unique vision. So grab your camera, get creative, and join us in redefining what fashion photography can be!
