The 2024 Exposed DC Photography Show opens this week! Please join us on Friday, July 12 from 5-8 p.m. for the opening reception at Fathom Gallery Georgetown at 1351 Wisconsin Ave NW. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.
In the days leading up to the show opening, we are announcing this year’s Best in Show winners. Each of these images was chosen by one of our guest judges—five distinguished photographers with ties to Washington, D.C. The winning photographers each receive a $100 cash prize along with the Best in Show distinction. This year’s awards are sponsored by Aperturent.
Congratulations to Valerie Short whose photo, “Intense Repetition” was selected by Angela B. Pan. Angela commented, “The movement and color drew me to the image, and I can only imagine the planning it took to create it. I’ve been in this room before, and I know there is a limited amount of time where every second counts. I’m also left wondering, where is the camera? A memorable image that had me looking at every corner of the photograph.”
You can view more of Valerie’s work on her website and Instagram.
