IPE Silver Award from the Royal Photographic Society
I’m honored my work from the series "The Unchosen Ones" garnered a Silver Award from the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) International Photography Exhibition, now touring around the UK. I thank RPS for their support!
Four award winners were been selected from thousands of entries from across the world by the panel: Karin Bareman, Curatorial Project Manager for Autograph ABP;Zelda Cheatle curator, editor, lecturer and consultant in photography; Ingrid Pollard, photographer, media artist and researcher; and photographers and former IPE exhibitors Abbie Trayler-Smith and Sian Davey .
Held since 1854, the RPS hosts the longest running exhibition of its kind. Pictured is the exhibition at The Old Truman Brewery, London as part of Photoblock, a collection of exhibitions celebrating the best in contemporary and traditional photography.
The award-winning images will also be exhibited in a group show at theprintspace gallery, London, in 2018.
The FENCE 2017
For the second year in a row, I am honored to have work on The FENCE. 40 photographer's work was chosen by 68 jurors among thousands of entries from around the world. The FENCE is a traveling photography exhibition reaching over 4 million visitors annually through open-air exhibitions in 7 cities across the United States: Brooklyn, Boston, Atlanta, Houston, Santa Fe, Durham, and Denver.
Upon my visit to CLICK 120 in October 2017, I was able to connect with my friend Chris Ogden who brought The FENCE to Durham, NC.
