Exposed DC 2016 Show Partner - Critical Exposure

We’re very excited to start telling you about some great stuff we have planned for the opening night of the Exposed DC Photography Show on March 10. We’ve always tried to make Exposed DC a conduit for photography lovers to find the many great organizations that have been working in the community for years, so we’ve invited a few of them to join us in celebrating local photography in hope you’ll discover something new. We’ll be introducing each one over the next few days.

Let’s start with Critical Exposure, a phenomenal non-profit group that teaches students in Washington, D.C. how to use photography to advocate for themselves. We hope you’ll stop by their table in the ballroom to talk to these talented students and Critical Exposure staff about the work they’re doing, and see examples of the projects they’ve pursued.

Get advance tickets for opening night soon!

Exposed DC is excited to announce its 10th annual Exposed DC Photography Show hosted by the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. from March 10 to April 1, 2016, on the second floor of the Carnegie Library.

These 47 winning photographs were chosen from a contest for their unique view of the Washington area – not as a political venue or tourist destination, but as a place where we live and work and love every day. Five of those photographs will be awarded our Best in Show prizes, each one chosen by a panel of distinguished metro-area photographers: Lucian Perkins, Susana Raab, Lauren Stockbower, Yodith Dammlash, and Carolyn Russo.

To celebrate a decade of amazing local photography, the Exposed DC opening reception will be held throughout the Carnegie Library; cocktail attire suggested. We’re showing our commitment to fostering photography for all skill levels and pursuits by partnering with local photography groups to provide entertainment and engaging activities throughout the Library. We’re delighted to be joined by Critical Exposure, Capital Photography Center, Leica Store DC, The Exposure Group African American Photographers Association, IGDC, HOIST Studio and the American Photographic Artists DC Chapter (APA|DC) to help us celebrate the big occasion.

D.C.’s own Bluejacket Brewery will provide their original brews at an open bar; complimentary wine and snacks will also be available. DJ Neville C. will provide dance tunes in the Carnegie Library’s fantastic D.C. Map Room.

A full color 10th Anniversary Exhibition Magazine with the last 5 years of winning photos be available at the opening, and online soon. The companion 5th Anniversary Magazine from 2006-2011 will also be available. Designed by Johanna Ostrich.

This awesome photo was sent to us by Heather Miracle, who helped her cousin, Jason U., an 11th grader at Fairfax Baptist Temple Academy, make the image for a school contest. Using a Canon EOS 60D on a tripod, they sat at Gravelly Point – on a day with a gale force wind warning – and took 663 images over three hours. Using Photoshop, he made the final image as a composite with 100 layers. Great job, Jason, it’s gotta be a shoo-in for that contest! Remember you can submit photos to us through our Flickr group or by dropping us a link via our contact form. (Hat tip to Exposed pal Leo for directing Heather to us.)

Don’t forget there’s still a few opportunities to visit the Exposed DC Photography Show at Capital Fringe, including tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. You can also see it Saturday, March 28, 6 to 8 p.m., and join us for our closing reception on Saturday, April 11, 4 to 8 p.m. Fringe has a bar so stop by to grab a beer and see the show without the crowds before you head to dinner on H Street. If you’d like to buy any of the photos in the show, you can do so easily at our online marketplace. You can also get the 2015 exhibition magazine for $10, which comes with a free digital copy.
