Lens Culture has announced the call for entries for the Black and White Photography Awards 2023, and today we want to share the first uploaded works with you.
Black and white photography is a timeless form of imagery composed of details, contrasts, and pure emotions it conveys. It's a deliberate aesthetic choice for many photographers.
The organizers of the competition are seeking outstanding black and white photographers from all cultures and experience levels, aiming to introduce them to a wide audience and provide opportunities to showcase their work at an exhibition in New York during The Photography Show 2024. If you're ready to step onto the global stage, join the competition.
"Sometimes I work in color, but I think, historically, I started off shooting in black and white. 'I see more in black and white - I like its mood.'" —Mary Ellen Mark.
