Analog – Made by Hand celebrates photography as a slow, tactile, and intentional practice. In contrast to digital reproduction, analog photography emphasizes craft, material engagement, and presence—from the moment light meets film to the physical act of printing. This exhibition highlights photographs shaped by time, chemistry, and handwork, where process is central to the photographic experience.
PhotoPlace Gallery invites submissions of photographs created using analog capture and/or historical, alternative, or handmade photographic processes. Submitted work is reviewed digitally, but selected images should clearly convey the physical qualities of the final print, including surface, texture, tonality, and edge detail where relevant.

Location

Photoplace Gallery, 3 Park Street, Middlebury VT

Fees

$39 for 5 images, $6 for each additional image

Eligibility

ELIGIBILITY & PROCESS GUIDELINES

• Platinum/Palladium
• Cyanotype
• Gum bichromate

• Other darkroom or chemical-based processes

We welcome photographs created through analog or hands-on processes. Techniques that combine digital capture with manual, process-driven interventions—such as inkjet transfers, hand-applied chemicals, or surface treatments—may be eligible when the artist's hand is central to the creation of the final print.
