THE SHADOW ASPECT

Entry Deadline: July 1, 11:59PM CT
Exhibition dates: Aug. 23 – Sept. 13, 2025

We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates - Jun'ichirō Tanizaki.

 

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art that explores the formal, conceptual, and metaphoric implications of the shadow. Some photographs focus on the shadow as pure visual form expressed through the creation of line, shape, pattern, and texture, while others may examine the cultural and psychological implications of the shadow - exploring ideas of foreboding, internal conflict, passages into the unconsciousness, or other ephemeral interpretations.

MOTION > BLUR

Entry Deadline: July 15, 11:59 PM CST. 
Exhibition Dates: Aug. 23 - Sept. 13, 2025

Motion Blur in photography creates a paradox: the image is a frozen moment in time, yet what it captures is movement—streaking, bending, or distortion of light and form in the frame. Blur can convey velocity, gesture, or emotional tone. It can introduce dream-like or surreal qualities by invoking the transitory nature of time passing.

​

Meteors streak across the sky. Figures pass through a space and dissolve. An artist draws with light. These moments reveal motion not as interruption, but as presence—an imprint of time unfolding within the still image.

​

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art that explores the visual and conceptual potential of motion and blur.​All genres, capture types, black & white, and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic, and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
