Exhibit Your Photographs At The Upcoming SPACE Open Exhibition This September

Exhibition theme: 1:1 Creativity

Creating images means harnessing our creative power and streaming our intentions into a cohesive image, but what happens when that image has further constraints attached? This SPACE Open Exhibition we’re shifting our focus to the visual platform of Instagram, and more specifically the constraint of their 1:1 image format. Do you follow a colour palette, monthly mood board or simply upload as your create? This is your chance to show us the peaks of your 1:1 Creativity!

Submit your most creative images within this 1:1 format and your work could be chosen for inclusion in September’s SPACE Open Exhibition.

The exhibition will open at the Orms Cape Town School of Photography on September 5th, 18h00 – 20h00. Everyone is most welcome, so please make a note in your diary, we would love to see you there.

Here are some sample images to get your creative juices flowing!

As your Instagram feed is so influenced by the visual work you create we have included a few examples of how your feed could look based on the work you are focused on producing. These are only examples and what we are wanting to see is your own personal interpretation of curating your work.

For the Street Photographer focusing on their black and white work:

For the Wildlife Photographer with an eye for an aesthetically pleasing colour gradient:

For the Aerial Photographer who’s never without their trusty drone:
