Description:
Black and white photography strips away distraction to reveal the essential. In this curated exhibition, we celebrate the power of photography to capture emotion, form, and story with striking clarity.
We’re excited to showcase the diverse perspectives of women photographers working in this timeless medium through a retail exhibition at The Co-Op and Beehive at Yellow Studio. From intimate portraits to sweeping landscapes, detailed abstracts to candid street scenes, “In Focus” brings together artists who embrace the sophisticated elegance and enduring appeal of black and white photography.
Yellow Studio invites women photographers in the community to submit their black-and-white work – imagery that demonstrates the enduring power of light, shadow, and composition to move and inspire
