By turning the camera on oneself the photographer is brought out from behind their lens, presenting themselves to the world as both artist and subject. Self-portraiture is often used to explore and manipulate identity. The photographer invites judgement and critique on not only their artistic message, but also their appearance and demeanor. For this exhibition, The Kiernan Gallery seeks self-portraits that provide insight into the artist; their stories, struggles and triumphs. ]]>]]>For this exhibition, juror Russell Joslin will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery and up to an additional 40 images to be included in the online gallery.

Spaces abuzz with activity during the day become quiet and desolate, and artificial light transforms mundane spaces into something almost magical. Photographers who work at night experience a nocturnal world through which most sleep.]]>]]>The perception of night is different for each photographer. For some, the darkness can present a time for reflection and repose, for others, the fear of the unknown instills feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. For Between Dusk and Dawn, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the night or other darkness visually, metaphorically, and emotionally.]]>]]>For this exhibition, juror Brie Castell will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery, and up to an additional 40 to be included in the online gallery. All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror's Choice and Director's Choice award will also be announced.]]>]]>All photographic media are encouraged.
