Storytelling 2026 - 2 Days Left to Enter! Link in Bio: The Atlanta Photography Group is excited to announce our next call for entry, Storytelling 2026, which celebrates street and documentary photography of all styles with images that reflect a strong narrative. We are looking for images which are a combination of candid depictions of everyday life, shadows of the city streets, the abandonment of a country road, subtle moments of joy, humor, love, fear or anxiety. Think of work like that created by Diane Arbus, Bruce Davidson, Robert Frank, Josef Koudleka, Helen Levitt, Baldwin Lee, Roy DeCarava, Mary Ellen Mark, Daido Moriyama, Lee Friedlander, Lisette Model, Gordon Parks, and Harry Callahan.

We are excited to have Karen Marshall, Chair of The Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism Program for the International Center of Photography as our esteemed juror.Link in Bio: The Atlanta Photography Group is excited to announce our next call for entry, Storytelling 2026, which celebrates street and documentary photography of all styles with images that reflect a strong narrative.

Portrait 2026 - 2 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER! Closes September 23rd at midnight.
Link in Bio: We invite photographers from around the world to submit their most compelling and thought-provoking works for our upcoming exhibition, Portrait 2026. This exhibition seeks to celebrate the timeless art of portraiture and the profound stories that can be conveyed through the human figure. We are looking for images which explore the intricate and intimate connections that bind us as human beings. Through the lens of portraiture, this exhibition aims to unveil the unique narratives that are etched onto each individual’s face and body. The human form, whether presented in its unadorned simplicity or adorned with personal symbolism, serves as a canvas for emotions, experiences, and stories that transcend cultural boundaries.

Themes include but are not limited to:

Identity and self-expression
Emotion and psychology
Cultural diversity
Narrative portraiture
