The Exposed DC Photography Show is an annual highlight for the D.C. community, providing a platform for photographers of all levels to share their perspectives of the region. This year's selection includes a diverse range of subjects, from surreal scenes like Amelia Earhart’s 1937 Cord on the National Mall and the 12-foot puppet known as Little Amal being surrounded in Union Station to stunning everyday scenes like the golden glow captured in the columns of the National Building Museum and a vibrant red car in an intersection seen from high above.
Five of the photographs will receive a Best in Show award along with a $100 cash prize. These awards are selected by independent judges who are acclaimed photographers with ties to Washington, D.C. This year, we are thrilled to have Pete Souza, Angela B. Pan, Stephen Crowley, Sharon Farmer, and Jada Imani M selecting these special awards.
Two special events will be held during the exhibit run. On July 14, there will be a tintype demonstration by featured photographer Mac Cosgrove-Davies. On July 20, there will be a social where people can meet Capital Photography Center instructors and hear about their photography classes and workshops for beginners to advanced photographers.
Since 2006, Exposed DC has been celebrating life and culture in the Washington, D.C. area through the lenses of photographers who live, work, play, and love here. The annual photography show is the organization's flagship event that shines a spotlight on life in the D.C. metro area as seen by some of the region’s most passionate amateur photographers and professionals alike.
