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.

The Atlanta Photography Group is excited to announce our next CFE, Tell Me A Story, which is celebrating street and documentary photography of all styles with a strong narrative. We are looking for your most compelling stories – they can be candid depictions of everyday life, shadows of the city streets, the abandonment of a country road, subtle moments of joy, humor, love, fear or anxiety. Think of work like that created by Diane Arbus, Bruce Davidson, Robert Frank, Josef Koudleka, Helen Levitt, Baldwin Lee, Roy DeCarava, Mary Ellen Mark, Daido Moriyama, Lee Friedlander, Lisette Model, Gordon Parks, and Harry Callahan.
For our Summer 2022 exhibition, the Atlanta Photography Group is partnering with The Nature Conservancy (nature.org) to produce a member-based exhibition opportunity that will encourage people locally, regionally and nationally to do everything in their power to create a world where people and nature can thrive.This exhibition features photo-based work around nature, landscape, environmentalism, nature conservation, flora, fauna, nature-based documentary / Fine Art, and work about animals/insects/reptiles/fish and their habitat.Our esteemed juror for this exhibition is Melissa (Ryan) Dale, Deputy Director of Photography for The Nature Conservancy. Ms. Dale will be presenting at the APG gallery via live stream during the opening reception, and local representatives from the Georgia Nature Conservancy branch will be at the gallery to talk about their mission.
Atlanta Photography Group is excited to take you Into the Studio with APG member, and working fine art photographer, Tokie Rome-Taylor. In this studio visit Tokie will be taking you into the digital end of her creative process. She will show you the methods she has developed to take a raw image and push it into the lane of fine art. Tokie will demonstrate the ways she uses dodging and burning techniques, textures and layer masks, as well as color grading to give images her signature style.
