In Frame: June 21, 2017

June 21, 2017 By Caroline Space

I will be hosting a street photography workshop in Romania this August at the VSLO Festival in Vama Veche. In addition I will be giving a lecture on protest photography in DC under the Trump administration in which I will be discussing the experience of shooting for the Un-Presidented book. There will also be an exhibit of my punk rock/harDCore photos. There's a lot going on for me this second half of the year!⠀ ⠀ #2fab4u #bestoftheday #love #wasted #nola #drunknights #lastnight #amazing #beauty #nofilter #awesome #style #candid #throwback #swag #party #rudeboy #exposeddc #dcitystyle #dmv #acreativedc #picoftheday #photooftheday #hot #blackandwhite #streetphotography #leica #ourhyattsville #VSLO #romania

It’s officially Summer. This photo by Chris Suspect reminds me of the endless summer shenanigans of youth. The ones that are filled with spontaneous decisions we might not have made sober but the ones that became fun anecdotes we reminisce about with friends. The moment in which the person is captured is frozen is an odd and interesting motion that keeps me focused in the frame.

There’s something about this image by Bella Maria Varla that reminds me of 90’s pop music. I feel an odd sense of John Waters’ Cry Baby meets Britney Spears’ “Baby One More Time.” How can you not love that bubblegum pop? It’s a quirky nostalgic photo that is also well composed and conceived—not to mention the image also has my favorite kind of lighting.

When a UFO comes by and scoops you up ⬆️ up up and away

Hello, D.C.! Unlike this poor fellow, I wasn’t taken by a UFO, so after a brief hiatus Exposed DC’s In Frame is back! This delightfully playful image by Cristina Angelica was first to catch my eye. The sheer joy of the photo and the witty caption is how I strive to be every day—living with glee in a wonderfully framed world. I can’t wait to see more from my fellow Washingtonians.

Keep photographing!

This is a wonderful light study, Lisa. It’s not only that but, this is an interesting image that tells a story that I want to know more about. What happens in the kitchen? Who are the people that use that kitchen? I find some of the most intriguing photographs are of a scene that tells so much but still leaves me asking questions, and I keep thinking about it even when it’s not in front of me.

2017 Best in Show Winner: Stacey Lewis

Stacey Lewis - H Street Represents
Stacey Lewis – H Street Represents

 

Today we announce the final of our five Best in Show prize winners from this, the 11th annual Exposed DC Photography Show. We invited a panel of distinguished D.C. metro-area photographers to each choose their favorite image from the 43 soon to be on display at this year’s exhibit. The five winning photographers each receive a $100 cash prize from Exposed DC.

Advance tickets for the March 9 opening night bash are still available, so buy yours now and save a Lincoln on door prices!

Our final winning photograph is “H Street Represent” by Stacey Lewis, chosen by photographer and editor Yodith Dammlash. Dammlash told us: “D.C. may be an ever-changing landscape but I feel like there are still pockets of originality and authenticity. There is also an authenticity about street photography. This photo reminds me of that authenticity on both fronts. On another note, the men in the background sitting on the ledge instantly reminded me of the iconic Lunch Atop A Skyscraper (1932) by Charles Clyde Ebbets. What an unexpected homage!”

See more of Lewis’s photographs on her Instagram feed.
