Every photograph tells a story. When part of a body of work, the photograph takes on new meaning, becoming part of a bigger and more complete narrative. A portfolio allows the photographer to explore the complexities of their subject, and provide context that gives it richness and meaning that is more than the sum of its parts. Panopticon Gallery is pleased to announce a call for art for First Look 2025, their annual juried portfolio showcase, where several portfolios will be selected for the exhibition on view from February through April 2025. First Look has become a distinguished tradition at Panopticon Gallery, providing a platform for emerging and established photographers alike to connect with a global audience.
