This photograph, taken by Bekah Richards, demonstrates a beautiful play with the transparency and reflectivity of shooting through glass. The photographer angles her camera in a way that allows her to capture a rainbow of blue, green, purple, and yellow to take advantage of the natural lights effect on the window’s condensation. This image is both peaceful and dreamy. Thanks for sharing with us, Bekah!

Join us for the opening reception of the 2020 Exposed DC Photography Show this Wednesday, February 19 from 6-9 p.m. at Touchstone Gallery! Advance tickets are on sale through noon on Wednesday, and a limited number of door tickets will be available.

Loving this shot taken by John Brighenti with a Sony ILCE-7RM2 camera. The low perspective gives a more dramatic effect to the shot, focusing on details that we may not have noticed otherwise. The light shines on the damp leaves scattered across the ground, freezing a moment in time. It is not hard to imagine oneself in the space as it reflects the cold and rainy winter season we are having. Thanks for sharing, John!

Don’t forget to submit your favorite images of the D.C. metro area to our 14th annual photography contest! The deadline for entries is December 12 at midnight.

As if it were straight out of a horror film, photographer Mike Maguire, captures the eeriness of the Halloween season. The photographer uses the light of a street lamp to emphasize the Annabelle-like doll perched on a swing. Many homes in the Georgetown neighborhood get into the “spirit” of the season, creating inspiring displays for any photographer. Check it out if you can! Thanks to Mike for the chilling image!

Also chilling: how quickly this year is flying by! That means our annual contest is fast approaching. In fact, we’ll opening the contest earlier than usual this year. Stay tuned for updates!

Photographed at the H Street Festival this past weekend, photographer Miki Jourdan has captured the emotions many of us feel when working out. The close-up portrait highlights the details of the subject’s face as we can see drops of sweat beading down her face. We can also see how tense the figure’s body is by the constriction of veins in both her neck and hands. Capturing this level of intensity really helps me as a viewer put myself into the experience of the subject. Thanks for sharing, Miki!

Join us for a collaboration happy hour with Focus on the Story tonight at Bar Deco from 6-8 p.m.!

What a beautiful photograph captured by John Brighenti while on a camping trip. The smoke from the campfires wafted through the trees giving the surrounding area a mystical aura to it. The smoke works to enhance the light’s reflection reinforcing the quiet ambiance that the photograph invokes. What a wonderful image; thanks for sharing, John!
