The landscape, whether grand or personal, has been a 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 landscape was one of most accessible and familiar subjects available.

The SE Center is looking for images of the landscape, whether grand vistas or more personal, intimate treatments. We’re looking for photographers who can make a statement with their landscapes, pull us in and make us want to explore. Black-and-white or  color, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.

Our juror for The Landscape is Brian Matiash. Brian is a professional photographer, published author, and podcaster based in Portland, OR. He specializes in fusing landscape & travel photography with experiential storytelling and practical instructing to help others grow creatively. Matiash has spent the better part of a decade educating, empowering and inspiring photographers all around the world with my tutorials, videos, and stories. Furthermore, he uses his years providing social and content strategy for some of the world’s largest companies to develop and execute on a variety of marketing campaigns successfully and authentically. He is proud to co-host the No Name Photo Show, a photography-based podcast.

35-40 Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG, Twitter) and an archived, online slideshow. A video walkthrough of each exhibition is also featured and archived. Openings are timed to coincide with Greenville’s First Fridays, a celebration of art, food and music.
