The 2024 Exposed DC Photography Show opening is just around the corner! Please join us on Friday, July 12 from 5-8 p.m. for the opening reception at Fathom Gallery Georgetown, 1351 Wisconsin Ave NW. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.
In the days leading up to the show opening, we have been 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 Katelyn King whose photo, “Alternative Renaissance” was selected by Jada Imani M. The mix of motion and emotion draws the viewer in to this moment frozen in time.
You can view more of Katelyn’s work on her website and Instagram.
