Abstraction: Envisioning a Different World
For this year’s concept exhibition APG is partnered with the Atlanta Contemporary to to push the boundaries of photographic vision, and exhibit photographs that explore the idea of what’s real.
Artists were encouraged to use the Atlanta Contemporary’s exhibition New Worlds: Georgia Women to Watch as a springboard to create work that moves beyond traditional ways of seeing photography.
The work in this exhibition creates abstraction through the use of color, form, composition, distortion, shadow, light, manipulated materials (montage or composite), and photo editing software. The exhibition is an opportunity for artists to envision a different world using their own unique photographic perspective.

Atlanta photography Group is excited to offer our first Tintype Weekend Intensive with Savannah-based wet plate photographer Robert Cooper. This is a 3-day intensive that will be held in-person at the Lovett School in Atlanta, Ga. All necessary chemistry and camera equipment will be provided as part of the workshop fee. If you have ever wanted to try your hand at this magical historic process, this weekend experience is the perfect opportunity.
This critique-focused workshop is an opportunity to refine current photographic projects, discuss project development overtime, as well as discuss best practices for preparing work for exhibition or professional portfolio reviews. Conversation will be tailored to the group’s needs for advancing their projects, defining personal goals, and finding avenues for sharing work. Professional practices for sustaining long-term projects through grants and other career building tools will be emphasized. This workshop is ideal for makers at any level of practice - career or hobby-based. The focus will be on developing a critical dialog and establishing goals and evaluation skills in addition to editing and sequencing a series of artworks towards the creation of a cohesive body of work.
Use your photography to explore the structural side of books! Students in this four-week class will learn how to use bookbinding techniques to reveal photographic narratives. The class will begin with a Coptic binding demo on Day 1. Then students will be given room to explore their own bookmaking interests with the instructor’s guidance. A one-week break at the midpoint gives students ample time for experimentation and construction. By the fourth meeting, students will have created their own handmade books that expresses their personal photographic content. This is an intermediate level class, but a review of binding basics will be provided. An opportunity for a guided pre-class field trip to an artists’ book exhibition will also be scheduled.
Gregory Harris Selects 2022 is APG’s feature exhibition for Atlanta Celebrates Photography (ACP) 2022, the month-long, citywide photography festival. The Exhibition is open themed and juried by Gregory Harris, the Keough Family Curator of Photography at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. This exhibition is featured in Atlanta Celebrates Photography (ACP) Festival Guide.
As artists, our work is personal. Successfully communicating this side of our work can help us to connect with viewers, gallery owners, potential buyers, and even the work itself. This workshop will explore memoir as it relates to writing about our photography. Over the course of three weeks, participants will practice creative storytelling in ways that lead to original and engaging artist statements.
