CALL FOR ENTRIES “Is This How I Look” a photography show about people. Show Dates: August 19 – September 4, 2011

tbellphotographic studio|gallery, located in the heart of Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe, is pleased to announce an international call for entries for “Is This How I Look?” — a figurative photography show.

JUROR: Ken Hamel — photographer, curator and founder|director of denverarts.org

CONCEPT: “Is This How I Look?” encourages photographic artists to define themselves or others through figurative photography. Have you ever taken a self portrait that changes the way you see yourself or how others see you? Maybe you’ve photographed another person who was surprised at how much the capture of a slight gesture or facial expression has revealed about them in just a single image. The camera can provide insight, or intimidate, preserve memories or inspire new directions, but it’s oh so wonderful when a figurative photograph captures and preserves that extra little fleeting “something” that says so much about a person, their environment, their personality, their circumstances, etc. A photograph that inspires the subject to ask “is this how i look?” So, observe the subtle details, and use your camera to explore the question. Define yourself and/or others and share what your camera reveals. Show us how you look at yourself and the people around you.

ELIGIBILITY: The show is open to all professional and amateur photographers of at least 18 years of age, working with digital or traditional photography. Alternative and experimental photographic techniques are also welcome.
