Entry Form
In the Practice of Seeing - A National Juried Photography Exhibition
In the Practice of Seeing: This suggests that photography is not merely a tool of representation, but an active process of perception and a process of refining a vision.
The title underscores the idea that seeing is never passive; it is shaped by attention, context, memory, and cultural framework. It speaks to how vision is never neutral, but always practiced - shaped by who we are, what we notice, and what we choose to attend. Photography has often been celebrated for its ability to capture reality, yet it is equally powerful in shaping how reality is perceived.
