Earlier this week we announced the winners of our 15th annual photography contest! The D.C. photography community continues to impress and inspire us year after year. Thank you so much to everyone for sharing their work with us and congratulations once again to this year’s winners! Stay tuned for updates on this year’s show. 

  • This month, the DC History Center will feature local street photographers who document our local history and environments. As part of this program, Exposed DC will be doing an Instagram takeover on Feb. 18, so be sure to follow along! There will also be an interactive photography workshop on Feb. 20 with photographers Roy Sewall and Joel Hoffman, registration required, $20-30.
  • In case you missed it, Photoworks’ artist talk about the “Hindsight is 2020: Street Photography in a Tumultuous Year” exhibit is available for viewing online.
  • A long-forgotten attic in a building in Geneva, NY hid a photography studio and a famous portrait of Susan B. Anthony.
  • The virtual exhibition “A Mexican Portrait,” featuring the photographs of Martha Gabriela Driessen, closes on Feb. 13.
  • Journalists, photographers, curators, and others pay tribute to Corky Lee who died last week at age 73.
  • Winning images from the Travel Photographer of the Year 2020 competition present a view of life during a time in which travel has been difficult or impossible.
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo helped the Bucks build a 40-point lead over the Pacers and proceeded to grab a camera and photograph the rest of the game while he sat out the entire fourth quarter.

2020 Best in Show Winner: Sofía Sebastián

February 14, 2020 By Andie Capace 1 Comment

We can’t wait to celebrate local photography with you all at our 14th Annual Photography Show opening on Wednesday, February 19 from 6-9 p.m. You can grab your discounted tickets in advance here! As the big day approaches, we are excited to announce the final Best in Show winner for this year’s show. Every year we ask a panel of five distinguished, local judges to each select one image to receive a Best in Show award. The winning photographers each receive a $100 cash prize and are acknowledged in the show and exhibition program.

Today, we are announcing the Best in Show winner “Union Station” by Sofía Sebastián, selected by judge Angela Bain. Bain commented, “This image has it all: mood, compelling composition, play of shadows, light and dark, juxtaposition of hard straight lines with gentle curved ones, all while telling a story of DC and some of the interesting people who live and work here at the busiest transportation hub in our dynamic city.”

You can view more of Sebastián’s work on her website and on Instagram.

Angela Bain is a life-long local of the D.C. metro area who has been photographing people since 1995. A famous photo by Man Ray hanging in her high school photography class was the gateway drug into a love affair with this art form. She studied fine art photography at Towson University, and has worked in the areas of portrait, studio, fine art, commercial, editorial and wedding photography.

2020 Best in Show Winner: Danielle Press

February 12, 2020 By Andie Capace Leave a Comment

Our 14th Annual Photography Show opens a week from today on Wednesday, February 19 from 6-9 p.m. You can grab your discounted tickets for opening night in advance here! As we lead up to the show, we are announcing this year’s Best in Show winners. A panel of five distinguished, local judges carefully review all photos, each selecting one image to receive a Best in Show award. The winning photographers each receive a $100 cash prize and are recognized in the exhibit and program.

The next Best in Show winner we are announcing today is “Gold with Kayak” by Danielle Press, selected by judge Beverly Price. Price commented that she loved this photo “because it makes me feel like I’m on the Nile River of the DMV.” This photo is a great capture of what we can epitomize “golden hour” to be.

You can view more of Press’ work on her website, on Instagram, and on Twitter.

Beverly Ailisha Price was born and raised in the Capitol Hill region of D.C. As someone who is passionate about community, she uses photography to as a way preserve culture and communicate the stories of her often forgotten and disenfranchised commonality.
