While the concept of the gaze is often as sociated with the male gaze\, a term film theorist Laura Mulvey introduced in the 1970s\, the idea has expanded to examine broader relationships amo ng power\, visibility\, and representation.\n\nBuilding on and challenging existing conversations around the gaze\, bell hooks introduced the concep t of the oppositional gaze\, a critical\, resistant way of looking that re cognizes systems of power. Her work examined how Black women were often ex cluded from dominant conversations around representation and expanded femi nist theory through an intersectional lens. The oppositional gaze recogniz es that looking is not passive\, but a way of engaging with\, questioning\ , and challenging the images and narratives created within systems of powe r.\n\nThis exhibition considers the many gazes that artists may choose to subvert\, including but not limited to the male gaze\, white gaze\, coloni al gaze\, cis gaze\, Western gaze\, and medical gaze. Through photography and related practices\, artists challenge the power dynamics inherent to t he camera itself\, question cultural expectations around beauty and identi ty\, and take the depiction of self into their own hands.\n\nSubverting th e gaze can take many forms. It may mean disrupting familiar ideas of who i s worthy of being seen\, challenging the expectation that a photograph of a person must function as a traditional portrait\, or creating images that resist easy interpretation. Abstraction\, fragmentation\, and alternative forms of representation can also become acts of subversion by refusing fa miliar ways of seeing.\n\nAt its core\, Subverting the Gaze asks: Who is l ooking? Who is being looked at? Who controls the image? And what possibili ties emerge when artists challenge the systems that have historically shap ed visibility and representation?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc _row height="auto"][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nCharlotte Woolf\n\n\nCharl otte Woolf (she/they) is a queer artist\, educator\, and curator whose wor k explores infrastructure\, labor\, and land through photography and commu nity engagement.

She delicately weaves stories concerning circumstance\, value\, and powe r and uses her work to create a physical and allegorical space presented t hrough a Black feminine lens.\n\nLove You Came from Greatness is the first major monograph by American photographer Nydia Blas\, it is an exploratio n of one Ithaca-based Black family and its community across many generatio ns. The book is also a formally rigorous examination of the taxonomy and s yntax of family portraiture.\n\nBlas’ contemporary works are integrated with selections from her historical family albums in order to tell an exte nded intergenerational story\, and to bring forward the evolving and recur ring nature of the portrait photograph throughout the medium’s history. Deploying doubling\, repetition\, and more subtle echoing and mirroring\, Love\, You Came from Greatness builds a powerful line of feeling and thoug ht across generations and photographic tropes and styles.\n\n[/vc_column_t ext][us_separator size="small"][vc_column_text]\nMelissa Hope Sarah Brown | MHSBphotos.com  | @melissa.hope.sarah.brown\nMelissa Brown is a photogr apher and visual storyteller based in Statesboro\, Georgia.

As a contr ibutor to the Georgia Historical Society\, she merges artistic expression with archival precision\, preserving the complexities of the past while co nnecting them to the present.\n\nDeeply informed by her experiences as a B lack woman in the South\, Brown’s practice engages with themes of self-p reservation\, memory\, and emotional depth.

She is now pursuing a Master's in Museum Studies at Kennesaw State University.\n\nIrving Klaw’s Classics (Vol. I-IV)\, Light it: Vydia Swa n Lighters\, and Cigarette Case reflect an ongoing portfolio that combines nostalgic objects with caricature. The presence of Vydia Swan in everyday items challenges ideas of what art is and where it can exist by promoting ‘low-brow’ artifices and a pinup revival.\n\nWallet Gear is a photogr aphic\, mixed-media body of work that explores voyeurism and fetishism in an uncertain social landscape. A wallet is an object exposed daily through routine\, mundane rituals\; it is meant to carry personal items such as i dentification and currency\, but it can also house explicit keepsakes for the thrill of it. Wallet Gear stimulates the adrenaline of ‘getting caug ht’ while also bearing its contents through a fine-art lens.\n\nPerfect Match\, Babbette's Bordello is a mixed-media project reimagining a ninetee nth-century product: small\, thin\, tapered candles sold in matchboxes\, i nfamously known as brothel timer matches because of the beautiful women de picted on them. Although no historical evidence suggests they were used th is way\, the story remains cemented in history and reflects the passage of time and mythmaking.\n\n[/vc_column_text][us_separator size="small"][vc_c olumn_text]\nSulé Indigo | tumblr.com/suleindigo | @suleindigo\nSulé Ind igo (they/she) creates self portraits that contemplate the individual and macrosocial consequences of the photographic medium’s history with image s of Black femininity and queerness.

Skateboarders support alternative timelines. They are not li ving for birth\, marriage\, reproduction and death. From my observation\, skateboarders are living for something other than longevity\; they are liv ing with the urgency of now in mind. Skateboarders\, much like queer peopl e\, are living a life unscripted by tradition. However\, skateboarders fai l to support this comparison because of the ingrained homophobia and sexis m within the sport. Queer Skateboarding documents this intersection in hop es of empowering marginalized people\, to show them that they are not alon e in trying to carve out a place for themselves in an activity or subcultu re that was created without them in mind.[/vc_column_text][us_separator si ze="small"][vc_column_text]\nNatasha Lehner | natashalehner.com | @tashwl \n \;\n\nIron Sights examines the parallel histories of photography an d weaponry through the use of archival tactical training manuals and photo graphs made at the Women of Steel and In Her Piece women's gun clubs in No rth Carolina. Together\, these materials interrogate the larger history of photography\, the power of visibility and the positioning of women within contemporary dialogues of self defense. Drawing inspiration from French a stronomer Pierre Janssen’s pioneering invention the photographic revolve r\, Iron Sights emphasize the anatomical similarities between camera and t he gun. The 1874 transit of Venus\, documented by the photographic revolve r\, becomes the throughline for Iron Sights as Venus crosses the sun\, she resembles the site alignment of a gun while also representing a larger tr ansfer of power and transformation.\n\nNatasha Lehner (b.1998) is a photog rapher and educator from Pound Ridge\, NY.

Des pite the South having the highest concentration of LGBTQ+ people in the na tion\, Southern Queer is often inseparable from migratory periods in metro polises that hold a reputation as havens\, both in the eye of American cul ture at large and in the individual lived experiences of Southern Queer pe ople. Within the work\, moments of obfuscation and frustration provide an opportunity to consider whom and what has access\, portraits frequently si gnify performance as a site of collaboration and community\, while the lan d is both a site of healing and a boundary where assumptions are challenge d.

From Civil War reenactments to outd oor fishing gatherings\, motorcycle rallies\, mudding events and BMX festi vals\, the images often remove the men from the context of the crowd\, pos ing them alone in the dense terrain. These portraits are contrasted with p hotographs of the entire group\, drawing on the tableau as a form in which collective action and communal identity briefly coalesce. Fragile and nea rly consumed by the encroaching flora\, the men echo some of the male arch etypes of Southern Gothic fiction: the decaying patriarch\, the haunted ve teran\, the lonely drifter. The landscape\, overgrown and symbolic of a tr oubled past\, serves as an apt stage for our collaborative portraits. As I reckon with the narrow\, destructive models of masculinity amplified by m any prominent male figures and social media algorithms\, this work address es these shifting definitions of virility that remain rooted within Americ a’s landscape\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_e lement="yes"][vc_column][us_btn label="Register for Virtual Artist Talk" l ink="%7B%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fatlantaphotographygroup.org%2Fshop%2F virtual-juror-artist-talk-chris-may-the-cyanospheres%2F%22%2C%22title%22%3 A%22Tell%20Me%20A%20Story%22%7D" hide_with_empty_link="1" align="center"][ /vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element="yes"][vc_column][us_btn label ="VIEWING ROOM" link="%7B%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fatlantaphotographygr oup.org%2Fsolo-exhibition-jo-ann-chaus%2F%22%7D" align="center"][/vc_colum n][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_co lumn][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc _column][/vc_row] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mlqotesv8ojd.i.optimole.com/w:1080/h:135 0/q:mauto/process:60098/id:f075123df4cc5bde15527abe076442f1/https://atlant aphotographygroup.org/SubvertingTheGaze-4x5-1subvertingthegaze-4x5.jpg CATEGORIES:Main Gallery,Upcoming/Current,Exhibitions LOCATION:Atlanta Photography Group\, 1544 Piedmont Ave\, Suite 107\, Atlant a\, GA\, 30324\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=1544 Piedmont Ave\, Suite 1 07\, Atlanta\, GA\, 30324\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Atlan ta Photography Group:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:595@atlantaphotographygroup.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261013T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261106T160000 DTSTAMP:20261013T155220Z URL:https://atlantaphotographygroup.org/events/solo-exhibition-karen-dunca n-pape/ SUMMARY:Solo Exhibition: Karen Duncan Pape DESCRIPTION:[vc_row height="auto" disable_element="yes"][vc_column][us_sepa rator size="small"][vc_column_text]\nAPG Announces Special Guest for Atlan ta Celebrates Photography\, Henry Horenstein\n\nThe Atlanta Photography Gr oup is excited to announce that our special guest for Atlanta Celebrates P hotography (ACP) this year will be world-renowned photographer\, author\, and educator Henry Horenstein.  He is also the juror for our exhibition T ell Me A Story\, which celebrates street and documentary photography.

So\, with a quixotic\, relieved and resou nding “yes!” I agree with the writer Alan Lightman that we ARE\, in fa ct\, wonderfully unique\, just like the ancestors in these images.\n\nMy e arly vivid experiences with Déjà vu tell me that it is also conceivable that genetic memory will be discovered to exist\, and that\, maybe\, bits of our memory are passed along among those many possible DNA combinations. Perhaps that is what makes me tear up at the sound of a lonely Appalachia n fiddle or the cry of the mourning dove. I believe that these memories ar e among the many gifts the people in these images bestowed on me. It ties me to their code and their lives.\n\n“Leavings” involved making chloro phyl prints on tree leaves indigenous to the valley where my family lived for 200 years. I photographed the leaves as they dried and disintegrated o ver several months and created scrolls of five images each. The process wa s intimate as there were many failed attempts due to heat\, punctuated by endless rain\, and I began to feel these people speaking to me\, telling m e their stories\, and imprinting their memories on me.\n\nImages are print ed with archival pigment inks on Hahnemuhle Rag Baryta or Hemp\, depending upon image size.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row height= "auto" us_bg_image_heading="" us_bg_slider_heading="" us_bg_overlay_headin g="" us_bg_pattern_heading="" us_bg_mask_heading="" us_shape_heading=""][v c_column][vc_column_text]\nKaren Duncan Pape |www.karenduncanpape.com |@pa pekaren\n\n\nKaren Duncan Pape is a fine art photographer living and worki ng in the southern United States.

As part of our mission to support photogr aphic artists\, we feel it is important to offer a variety of options so t hat each artist can find the group that is the best fit for them.  Not ce rtain of the value?  Consider this:\n\n Feedback and Improvement: Constr uctive criticism provides valuable insights that help artists see their wo rk from different perspectives. It highlights areas that need improvement and offers suggestions for growth\, ultimately enhancing their skills and artistic vision.\n Learning and Development: Critique exposes artists to diverse viewpoints and approaches\, allowing them to learn new techniques\ , styles\, and concepts. Engaging with feedback fosters continuous learnin g and development in their artistic journey.\n Self-reflection: Evaluativ e feedback prompts artists to reflect on their own work critically. It enc ourages introspection\, enabling artists to understand their strengths and weaknesses better\, leading to more refined artistry.\n Building Resilie nce: Dealing with critique develops resilience and the ability to handle r ejection or differing opinions. It strengthens an artist's confidence and prepares them to face challenges in their career\, fostering growth both p rofessionally and personally.\n Community and Networking: Engaging in cri tique sessions or receiving feedback from fellow artists fosters a sense o f community. It creates networking opportunities\, allowing artists to con nect\, collaborate\, and learn from each other.\n Audience Perspective: U nderstanding how an audience perceives their work is crucial for artists. Critique provides insights into how their art is received\, helping them c ommunicate their ideas more effectively and connect with their audience on a deeper level.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row width="f ull" height="auto" disable_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n\n \nGuest Moderator for April 2026 - Matt Haffner\nMatt Haffner is a photo-b ased\, mixed media artist who works in a variety of materials. These often include newspaper\, spray paint\, cardboard\, salvaged street signs\, whe at paste\, and industrial pencils combined with photographs which give his pieces a frenzied\, chaotic feel and show his roots as a street artist. L arge-scale site-specific installations and smaller works on paper examine the artist’s memories of growing up in the urban Midwest. These personal narratives are woven together with mythologies and folklore to illuminate surreal and otherworldly experiences.\nHaffner’s works are in a variety of public and private regional\, national\, and international collections . He has won countless awards\, residencies\, and grants in support of his work\, including a National Endowment for the Arts Project Award\, Hambid ge Center for the Arts and Sciences\, MOCA Georgia’s prestigious Working Artist Award\, and a Forward Arts Foundation Award.
