Prospectus: Windowscapes

Photo Artfolio invites photographers worldwide to submit work to our juried online exhibit, “Windowscapes”.

THEME: Windows are everywhere in our lives. These ubiquitous structures provide a glimpse into our lives and the world around us, serving as a threshold between the inside and outside world and often, the private and the public space. Whether you choose to use windows as a framing device or capture their reflective surfaces, there are countless ways to explore the visual and metaphorical possibilities of windows. As a photographer, you can capture windows in abstract, conceptual, narrative or even portrait photography. We want to see your work that surprises and excites us, and inspires us to see the world in a new way.
