Photography exhibit juried submission

NOIR ET BLANC

A Photography Juried Competition & Exhibition

Black and white and monochrome photography often evoke much emotion, nostalgia, and narrative. The absence of color helps the viewer see the subject, the contrasts, and the important elements of the image without distractions. This call for monochromatic and black and white photography includes both analog or digital formats of image capture and output. A variety of subjects will be considered and include but are not limited to: landscape, portraiture, still life, photojournalism, architectural, abstract or alternative processes.

High School students are invited to submit artwork for consideration for this exhibit.

Daniel G. Weiss

Daniel G. Weiss is a commercial/advertising and fine art photographer based in Port Washington, NY. His work often explores the relationship between people and nature; he finds his greatest inspiration outdoors and on location. His most recognized work, “Survivor”, is an ongoing collection documenting the resilience of Holocaust Survivors through intimate portraits. “Survivor” has been featured in multiple exhibits and news publications and honors the legacies of those who lived through one of history’s darkest chapters.

In addition to his documentary work, Weiss has showcased his fine art photography in two separate month-long exhibitions titled “In The Deep”. This project centers on captivating images of the ocean at sunrise, at sunset or while underwater swimming with humpback whales.

Whether capturing the profound dignity of Survivors, the sheer wonder of the ocean, or creating powerfully inspiring imagery for sports and fitness brands, Weiss’s images transcend their subjects, creating a deep emotional resonance and leaving a lasting impact on the viewer. His work remains a testament to both the endurance of the human spirit and the timeless power of the natural world.
