The Modern Nude
William Earle, Juror
Image ©Jeremiah Dine
The fine art nude has been a celebrated subject of photography since the beginning and played an important role in establishing photography as a fine art medium. Early on, both in history and most photographers experience, the nude has been featured in a classical pose and setting, maturing to illustrating the human body as a sculptural abstraction, and with some pushing boundaries.

The Contemporary Portrait
Aline Smithson, Juror
The Portrait. We use portraits as objects of remembrance and reverence, of seduction and glorification. From the keepsakes in lockets as tiny remembrances of love, to the likenesses of leaders meant to inspire and seduce with their power.

Abstract Image
Adam Finkleston, Juror
The SE Center for Photography is looking for non-representational imagery, though it can be from found objects in nature, man made or figurative works. We're seeking images that do not attempt to represent external reality, but seek to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and texture.
Submissions with the Juror
Flora & Fauna
Darrell Gulin, Juror
Artists throughout the ages have been drawn to the vast and varied world of flora. What moves you? Do you celebrate the essence of beauty or strive to heighten recognition of the perilous path of our environment? Or is it the fauna, all the animal life of a particular region. We live with animals daily - wildlife, farmed, caged or free, many are our best friends, some we fear, yet others we admire.
A note about our jurors and curators.
Yes, we want to hang your work in the gallery and hopefully sell it to a collector. But juried shows are also about exposure. We work with the leaders in contemporary photography, the respected gallerists, publishers and photographers whom you want viewing your images. These are the individuals that can further your career. Move you from an enthusiast to becoming a photographer, from an emerging to a mid career artist.
In our juried exhibition prospectus' we state the possibility of a solo show as a result of participating in a juried exhibit. In 2017, two of our five invitational shows featured photographers whom participated in juried shows, three were exhibited in 2018, one each in 2019 and 2021, and 2 in 2022.
