Director's Choice
Laura Valenti, Program Director, Newspace Center for Photography
Chris Bennett, Director, Newspace Center for Photography

“Out of a diverse field of talented photographers, we have chosen two images each from ten photographers for the Directors' Choice competition. The photographers selected have a striking breadth of talent and a uniquely modern take on the medium.

Our selection is unified by a subtle elegance, a delicate humanity, and a sense of mystery, as well as a remarkable clarity of perspective and a high level of craft. As a whole, the images chosen speak to our primary interest in showcasing challenging contemporary fine-art and fine-art documentary work. We are pleased to offer our gallery as an exhibition venue for the winners and look forward to a gorgeous show at Newspace in September."
