One of my travel photographs is currently being exhibited in the Praxis Gallery in Minneapolis, USA. The Praxis Gallery and Photographic Arts Center is a non-profit community-based arts organisation that aims to support the development of new and emerging photographic artists. The Praxis Gallery and Photographic Arts Centre regularly holds ‘Open Call’ events which are followed by an international juried photography exhibition. I entered my image, ‘Here Comes the Sun’, to the ‘Animal Beings’ exhibition which was guest curated by Laura Valenti. Click through the slideshow to view photos from the exhibition at the Praxis Gallery:
The Animal Beings exhibition is a celebration of the astonishing beauty and diversity found in the animal world. Praxis Gallery Presents photographic art works that showcase animals’ inner beauty, strength, character, resiliency, and wisdom. Compassionate images of companion animals, wild animals, farm animals, insects, and fish are all heartily featured - showcasing the very best of furry, scaly, feathery photographs!
I have always enjoyed taking images of animals on my travels so had plenty in my portfolio to choose from. I also enjoy taking silhouette style images, and I thought this minimalist artistic style of image would suit the theme of the gallery well. I was honoured to receive the ‘Directors Choice Award’ for my selected image. I took the silhouetted image of the camel in the Thar Desert in the Northern state of Rajasthan in India.
