THEME #02Winners2019JUL
STILL LIFE
WINNERS LIST
THEME SUMMARY
“Still Life” has always been a fundamental theme in painting. The recent development of digital technology expanded the possible photographic expression of “Still Life” considerably. It goes beyond the photograph of a still object; the manipulation of the subject, the use of collage or montage, to list a few. Show us how you give life to inanimate objects and broaden the range of this photographic language.
[Submission Period] from July 1 to August 31
