Description

Are you a photographer captivated by the interplay of light and darkness? The Covert Collection is now accepting submissions for our upcoming “Light & Shadow” photography exhibition. This show will explore the dramatic, mysterious, and evocative relationship between illumination and obscurity—whether through striking contrasts, moody silhouettes, or the delicate balance of highlights and shadows.

We invite photographers to submit work that embraces the power of light as a storyteller, revealing emotion, depth, and texture in ways that only photography can capture.
Submission Guidelines:
???? Open to all photographers—emerging and established.
???? All photographic styles and techniques welcome (film, digital, black & white, color, mixed media, etc.).
???? Submit up to 3 high-resolution images (JPEG, 300 dpi, max 5MB per file).
???? Include a brief artist statement (250 words max) describing your work and how it connects to the theme.
???? Submission Fee: $45 for up to 3 images
???? Selected photographers will exhibit their work at The Covert Collection and be considered for print sales and licensing opportunities.
???? If you would like your image to be marked for sale, the gallery will assume a 35% commission on the sold piece
