Description

Black and white photography strips away distraction to reveal the essential. In this curated exhibition, we celebrate the power of photography to capture emotion, form, and story with striking clarity.

As Yellow Studio launches this retail exhibition in the Yellow Studio Co-Op and The Beehive at Yellow Studio, we're excited to showcase the diverse perspectives of photographers working in this timeless medium. From intimate portraits to sweeping landscapes, detailed abstracts to candid street scenes, "In Focus" brings together artists who embrace the sophisticated elegance and enduring appeal of black and white photography.

Yellow Studio invites women photographers in the community to submit their black-and-white work – imagery that demonstrates the enduring power of light, shadow, and composition to move and inspire.
