WINDOWS AND MIRRORS

Windows and mirrors offer photographers an amazig variety of creative options. a window can offer a reflected subject or be used as a framing element in a composition. A mirror can present two different realities simultaneously, or present an altered view of reality. We are honored that San Francisco gallerists Elizabeth Corden and Jan Potts served as the jurors for this exhibition. Together they selected a remarkable collection of photographs that explore the strange and wonderful ways that mirrors and windows help us see our world anew. They chose forty photos for exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery from October 30th through November 20th, 2012. They also selected an additional thirty-five photos for the gallery’s “Online Annex.”

All of these photographs will be included in a full-color exhibition catalog available for purchase. To help artists defray costs, PhotoPlace Gallery offers to mat and frame work selected for exhibition free of charge, providing artists print their images to our pre-cut mat and frame sizes or use our print service.

Jurors' Statement:

One of our prime criteria in reviewing the submissions to PhotoPlace Gallery’s Windows and Mirrors competition was a unique take on the theme. After all, the fascination with reflections in windows and mirrors has beguiled photographers since the early days of photography, so bringing a fresh view to the subject is a challenge. We also looked for images where the photographer displayed a command of the technical aspects of the image and for variety among the images we selected. This was not an easy task and we had to leave many worthy images out of the final mix for the gallery show and for the online exhibit.
