Photography in the Age of Social Media

Open Call for Submissions

Fine and Performing Arts Department, Colby-Sawyer College   /   Deadline: 01/05/17

In 2016, at what could be the apex of the age of smart phones, and photo sharing apps, how are photographers using "Social Media" to define and re-define their own medium? How has this aesthetic and technological revolution of sharing photographs changed photography?
