Photographers recognize that they are not photographing the tangible subject, but only the light that is reflected from it. The quality of the light, then — its intensity, direction, color, diffusion — often determines the success or failure of an image.

For this exhibit, we’re looking for images whose success rests in the quality of the light — natural or artificial, harsh or diffuse, bright or dim — their subjects made extraordinary by the light that falls on them. All capture and processing methods are welcome.

We are very pleased that Ann Jastrab will jury this exhibit. She will select up to 35 images for exhibition in the Middlebury gallery, and up to an additional 35 for our Online gallery. All selected images will be promoted in social media and published in the exhibit catalog.

Submission: $39 for the first 5 images, $6 each additional

Open to all photographers 18 and up. All capture methods welcome.
