1650 Gallery is now accepting submissions for the Flower Power Photo Contest. Flowers have been a perennial favorite of photographers from Imogen Cunningham to Robert Mapplethorpe and beyond; the beauty, color, form, texture and compositions that nature offers in the form of flowers is unmatched.

Artists from around the globe take delight in capturing this natural beauty with the camera lens, and the different approaches taken (natural, documentary, abstract and even surreal) are a testament to the enduring tenacity of the creative spirit. We look forward to perusing your personal forays into floral photography!
