SPARK Themed Juried Exhibit – Chasing The Cheese 2022

On August 23, 2021 - Exhibit

One. Singular. Sole. Only.
Colour or hue.

By definition*, monochrome (adjective):
: of, relating to, or made with a single colour or hue;
: involving or producing visual images in a single colour or in varying tones of a single colour (such as grey)

In photography, monochrome can be shades of grey, as in black and white photography, yet can also use another single colour, such as sepia, cyan or any other colour of the rainbow, as long as it is used in singularity with only changes in light and saturation.

Monochrome photography challenges the photographer to capture the subject matter, tonal range, shadows, patterns and texture using only light rather than the full array of colour.

A monochrome photograph challenges the viewer to see the subject as portrayed by the photographer’s use of light and singular colour, and not necessarily based on familiarity or previous experience.

The subject can be anything the camera and you, as the photographer, can capture; the image must be monochrome.

Monochrome was this year’s challenge. Ontario photographers showed us their best in monochrome.
