Welcome to Fieldwork’s second Open Call. Photographers of all experience levels are applicable to apply. Up to thirty photographers will be highlighted alongside featured photographer Kristine Potter.
The first issue will be centered around the theme of The Embodied Weight of Place centers on how place is not experienced neutrally. Landscapes, interiors, and built environments carry histories and mythologies that shape how they are felt and inhabited, even when those narratives are not immediately visible. Our experience of place is conditioned by what has occurred there, by the stories that circulate around it, and by who we are within those contexts.
This theme invites work that considers how bodies move through places already charged by prior use, belief, and memory. Photographs may take the form of landscapes, portraits, or scenes of everyday life. What unites them is an attention to how place presses back on those who encounter it, producing experiences that are uneven, subjective, and deeply situated.
Submitted images must be made by the photographer. We ask that submissions be created “out in the field” whether that be digital or film. We understand that AI has a new seat at the table in the art world, but we ask that submitted photographs be captured on film, digitally, or handmade (photograms, alternative processes).
All copyright will remain with the photographer.
Fieldwork will use the final selected photographs for publication, social media, advertisement, and website uses.
Submit up to 12 images. First six images are $25, $5 for each additional image.
File formats accepted: jpgs
