The photograph’s power as a narrative tool is derived from the impression that what is captured within the frame is an accurate representation of what actually occurred at a specific moment in time. As complete or comprehensive as any narrative may appear to be, it will always be subject to a process of including some elements and excluding others. These inclusions and exclusion are a crucial part of what photographic storytelling is all about - What is being presented within the frame to the viewer – and what is being left out or left to the viewer’s imagination.
Praxis Gallery presents photographic works that explore the development of visual narratives through the still image. Stories may take any shape or form; they may be literal or fantasy, documentary or fiction; complex or minimal.

NUDE GEOGRAPHIES
Entry Deadline: Aug. 17, 2025 11:59 CT
Exhibition Dates: Sept. 20 - Oct 11, 2025
The nude figure has held a central place in art for centuries—explored as a symbol of beauty, vulnerability, sensuality, and human complexity. From classical traditions to contemporary interpretations, artists have turned to the nude to express everything from idealized form to emotional depth.
In photography, the nude remains a versatile and powerful subject. It can be intimate or confrontational, formal or raw, poetic or political. It can invite reflection on identity, the gaze, representation, and the shifting boundaries between public and private. And at times, it may simply celebrate the body as light, shape, and presence.
Praxis Gallery seeks photographic works that explore the nude in any of its many styles and expressions—including figure studies, environmental nudes, implied nudes – whether aesthetic, conceptual, emotional, or experimental.

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS
Submission Deadline: Aug 31, 2025 11:59PM CT
Exhibition Dates: Oct 18 - Nov 8, 2025
The old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” seems to suggest that a photograph transcends language, but words have been a key part of many important photographers’ work—from the billboards and signs in many Walker Evans’ photos to Lee Friedlander’s 2019 book, Signs, for example. The interplay of language and image can create a vivid sense of tension, irony, or poignance. The size and shapes of a font are visual aspects that can carry as much weight as any other aspect in the frame.
Praxis Gallery presents photographic art that includes written language as a fundamental aspect of the composition, including text in the form of signs or fragments of signs, handwriting scrawled over the photo, graffiti and palimpsests, just to name a few iterations of the theme.

THE STREETS ~ AT NIGHT
Entry Deadline Aug 3, 4 PM CT
Exhibition Dates: Sept 20 - Oct 18, 2025
Street photography in its unique way it captures the mystery and aura of everyday city living. At night, that aura deepens—shadows lengthen, lights flicker, and the ordinary becomes theatrical. The street photographer, often likened to the historical figure of the flâneur—a wanderer of city streets—observes the rhythms of urban life with a mixture of detachment and curiosity.
After dark, these rhythms shift. Figures pass under neon. Stillness and movement blur. Light shapes mood, and anonymity reigns.
Praxis Gallery presents photographic art that explores the genre of nighttime street photography: people and places seen after dark, cinematic moments, architectural forms illuminated by streetlight, and the choreography of life under the city’s glow. Juried by: Valérie Jardin
