The Black & White Captures of the World photography exhibition opened to huge crowds at The Artists Gallery on January 18th. Many local artists were on hand to discuss their work, while the international artists were played on a large screen TV in the viewing room. You can view the exhibition at TAG through January 24, 2025 or visit the online gallery.

The curators, Los Angeles based fine art photographer, Eric Renard and San Francisco based Gigi Chung, examined hundreds of images submitted from Argentina, Belgium, Ecuador, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, the UK and across the United States. “This very unique exhibition showcases some of today’s best photographers from across the globe” said Renard. “With no more than one image per submitting photographer this exhibition gives a sense of where fine art photography is today in all parts of the world” he said. Approximately 40 photographs were selected for the exhibition.
