In a world saturated with color, there is something timeless and powerful about the monochrome image. Stripped to its essentials—light, shadow, form, and texture—black-and-white photography invites us to see differently. It distills the world into tone and emotion, allowing mood and meaning to rise to the surface.

NYC4PA MONOCHROME

The first photographs to be part of the world of art were monochrome prints. The images were captured by large format cameras, developed into negatives and printed in the darkroom. The world of photography has come a long way since then with color dominating so much of what we shoot these days, and cameras now an integral part of our very portable phones.

Call For Entry: Monochromatic

International Submission Deadline:
January 15th, 2024 11:59 PST

Monochromatic is an exhibition exploring the emphasis of color in the captured image. A monochrome photograph is commonly considered a black and white or grayscale, but a monochromic color scheme is a balance of tones, tints, and shades of a single hue. Potential subject media includes but is not limited to early photographic processes, such as cyanotype, analog film, infrared, sepia, tintype, etc., and modern digital post-production techniques. What's your interpretation of monochromatic?
