Prospectus: http://laphotocurator.com/current-call-for-entry-the-figure-in-the-landscape-curator-emma-powell-deadline-4-15-16

The relationship between a figure and its landscape context can be powerful. Landscapes are often presented as pristine places, without human presence. However, figures within landscapes can play dynamic roles as scale elements, protagonists in a narrative, or mysterious presences. Sometimes figures can ask more questions about a place than they can answer. For this exhibition we seek photographs that extend beyond documentation of place to bring a human element into the natural or urban landscape.

Curator: Emma Powell received her MFA in Photography from the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences, Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York and is currently an assistant Professor of Art, with a focus in photography at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Powell brings a varied and full background to L.A. Photo Curator, which includes awards, residencies and fellowships. Her latest achievements include first place for a portfolio in the Creative Storytelling Competition held by the Maine Media Workshops juried by Aline Smithson and winning a Mrachek Fellowship award.
