2019 Best in Show Winner: Kevin Wolf

February 8, 2019 By Katie Benz

Nuisance Flooding – Kevin Wolf

Last but not least, we announce our fifth Best in Show prize winner for our 13th Annual Exposed DC Photography Show. Each year a panel of five influential photographers choose their favorite image, and each winning photographer receives a $100 cash prize from Exposed DC.

“Nuisance Flooding” by Kevin Wolf was chosen by Lauren Stockbower for its unique perspective. She described the work taken at the Washington and Jefferson memorials as “one of the most beauteous and ephemeral weather pictures.” Furthermore, Stockbower states: “Photographically, the composition is strong, with horizontal thirds divided by the memorials as bookends and the crooked bench, mostly symmetrical, in the center.  The reflections of all three add mood and depth to the image, as do the white lights reflected in the water on both edges.”

You can see more of Kevin Wolf’s work on Flickr and Instagram.

See all 43 winning images of the 2019 exhibit, including the five Best in Show winners, on display at Touchstone Gallery during our opening reception on February 13 from 6-10 p.m. A limited number of advance tickets are available, so grab yours now to join us in our 13th year of celebrating local photography!

I’ve spent a solid amount of time studying this photo trying to glean information from every vignette. Kevin Wolf’s omniscient presence shows the tiny little worlds inside a moment in time at a very specific place.

2016 Best in Show Winner: Kevin Wolf

Today we have the fourth of our five Best In Show prize winners for the 10th annual Exposed DC Photography Show. We invited a panel of distinguished D.C. metro-area photographers to each choose their favorite photograph from the 47 in this year’s exhibit. The five winning photographers will each receive a $100 cash prize from Exposed DC.

We’ll be announcing the winners each day this week. You can still grab advance tickets for the opening reception next Thursday, March 10!

Our fourth winning photo is “Second Coming” by Kevin Wolf. A well manicured golf course is a bizarre place for a nuclear blast, but luckily Wolf was there to capture it. This photo is actually of overexposed fireworks, but the choices Wolf made – like only showing the backs of peoples’ heads – create a wonderful, science fiction like scene. The full range of grays add a peaceful quality to an image filled with doom.
