Thank you so much to everyone who joined us last night for the opening of the 18th Annual Exposed DC Photography Show! We were thrilled to see you all, and we hope you enjoyed the celebration and the 42 images in the exhibit that showcase life in the Washington, D.C. metro area by the people who live, work, and love here. If you’d like to share feedback on the event and exhibition, we invite you to complete this survey.

In addition to exhibit hours, we also hosted two special events. On Sunday, July 14, exhibiting photographer Mac Cosgrove-Davies created custom wet plate portraits during a tintype demonstration. On Saturday, July 20, we held a social with Capital Photography Center (CPC) where people could meet instructors, find out about workshops and classes, and win a $100 CPC gift certificate.

If you’d like to purchase any of the photos on display, you can do so here. At the exhibit, you can scan the QR code on a title card to go directly to the page where you can buy that image! A collectible exhibition program is also available for purchase online or at the gallery during exhibit hours.

Special thanks to Fathom Gallery Georgetown for hosting our exhibition in their beautiful space and to our sponsors for their support: the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, Aperturent, Capital Photography Center, and Topo Chico. Thank you to Kendall Spink for sharing her graphic design expertise in preparing our beautiful exhibition program, our wonderful group of volunteers who make sure the event goes off without a hitch, and to our official event photographer, Mariah Miranda, who always captures the joy of our opening celebrations so beautifully! You can view the full set of images in this online gallery. We are ever grateful to this incredible photography community for their support of one another and Exposed DC.

The exhibit will be on view through Friday, July 26 during the following hours. Admission is free. A virtual gallery is also available for online viewing with additional information about the photographs and links to where you can view more of the photographers’ work.

The 2024 Exposed DC Photography Show opens tomorrow night! 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 (available until midnight tonight) and will be $20 at the door.

In the days leading up to the show opening, we’ve 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 David Moss whose photo, “Fog Head” was selected by Pete Souza.

About the Judge

Pete Souza is a best-selling author, speaker, and freelance photographer based in Peoria, Illinois. For all eight years of the Obama administration, Souza was the Chief Official White House Photographer and the Director of the White House Photo Office. He is also Professor Emeritus of Visual Communication at Ohio University.

His book, Obama: An Intimate Portrait, was published by Little, Brown & Company in 2017, and debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestseller list. It is one of the best-selling photography books of all time.

Based on his best-selling books, Souza became the subject of the documentary film, The Way I See It, in November 2020. Directed by Dawn Porter–and produced by Porter, Laura Dern, Evan Hayes, and Jayme Lemons–the film takes an unprecedented look behind the scenes of two of the most iconic Presidents in history, Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan, as seen through Souza’s eyes and camera.

Souza was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame in 2021.
