2019 Best in Show Winner: Miles Carter

By Leave a Comment

Miles Carter – McPherson Square

Our 13th Annual Exposed DC Photography Show opens next week; get your tickets now and join us at Touchstone Gallery for the opening reception on Wednesday, February 13!

Every year we ask a panel of distinguished, local judges to select one image each for a Best in Show award. The winning photographers each receive a $100 cash prize from Exposed DC. Our 2019 panel consists of five judges, and over the coming days we’ll be announcing the winners, starting today!

“McPherson Square” by Miles Carter was selected by John Christopher Anderson, who commented on the arrangement of the photo. Additionally, he stated: “The gesture is very authentic and universal; framed cleanly, in a strong and graphic presentation. Furthermore, the photographer had the confidence to avoid cropping out the portion of the frame which unsettles the composition and authenticates the moment.”

You can see more of Miles Carter’s photographs on his website and on Instagram.

The challenges of using powerful content as a vehicle for educating the public on humanist documentary work has grown into his biggest passion of late.

Shutdown Stories Project

By Leave a Comment

Photos courtesy of Kirth Bobb and Geoff Livingston as part of the Shutdown Stories Project

Local photographers Kirth Bobb and Geoff Livingston have teamed up on a project to share the stories of people impacted directly by the government shutdown. The Shutdown Stories Project is a photographic essay of 21 real people – 21 of 800,000 workers – affected by the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Federal workers have become unwilling pawns in the shutdown. The media and certain politicians relegate these individuals as a blind number, “800,000 federal workers.”

Kirth and Geoff spent an afternoon photographing affected federal employees at the Creative Hands Studio in order to show their stories and illustrate that federal workers are real people trying to make ends meet and serve our country. You can view the full project at shutdownstory.com, including coverage of the project by WUSA-9.

Kirth and Geoff are both Exposed alum and will be a part of the 2019 annual exhibition as well.
