Viewpoint Photographic Art Center invites all college and high school photography students to submit photographs for an exhibition hosted by Viewpoint. This photography show will be at the Viewpoint Photographic Art Center in April 2027 in conjunction with Sacramento Photography Month.
As you explore this theme, look through your camera as you move around to discover possible images. Notice how lines, haze, object relationships, and overlapping forms shape perspective. How does your image change based on your approach? You might also explore social perspectives, contrasting viewpoints, or different situations. This is a chance to think creatively, try something unexpected, and have fun with the theme. You also may want to submit a diptych with two images that tell a story.
