“Candid” Photography Exhibition ends 10 May 2026

Posted on by

Deadline: 10 May 2026. Candid photography is the art of attention. It is rooted in presence, patience, and trust in the unfolding moment. Rather than directing or staging, the photographer observes and responds. Unscripted gestures, fleeting expressions, and everyday interactions become the substance of the image. What remains is honesty within the frame.

This Open Call invites photographers to submit unstaged and unposed work that reflects genuine human experience. Street scenes, intimate domestic spaces, public encounters, and quiet daily rituals are all welcome. The focus is on images that carry emotional truth and reveal life as it is lived. The selected images will form a record of life as it unfolds, direct and unembellished.

Prizes:

– One or more of your photographs will be showcased in a Virtual Online Exhibition.
– Participants will receive a free PDF copy of the Exhibition Catalogue.
– Participants will receive a free Certificate of Recognition.
– Photographers can expect to see their work featured in social media posts and stories.
– Your photograph(s) will be permanently uploaded on Instagram (@carlottagallery).
