The Still Life Competition was canceled due to weather. The Still Life Theme will be used in the March competition.
February 17, 2015-Competition Night with Steve Gottlieb
NVPS would like to welcome Steve Gottlieb as our judge for the February competition. The theme is “Still Life” and submitted images must be taken recently within the last two years.
“For this theme, a still-life is defined as an artistic arrangement or collection of non-moving inanimate objects, either natural or man-made. The arrangement can be arranged by the photographer or someone else such as in a store-front window or flower bouquet. Please, no architectural subjects such as buildings or bridges, people, landscapes or moving objects for this theme. The still-life must be the main subject of the image.”
Steve Gottlieb’s images—from architecture to people to landscapes—have been featured in Shutterbug, Popular Photography, American Photo, Rangefinder, and Photo District News, among many others. He has been recognized with such awards as “Advertising Photograph of the Year” in both NYC and Washington, DC. He is the photographer—as well as author and designer—of six books, including American Icons, Washington: Portrait of a City, FLUSH: Celebrating Bathrooms Past & Present, and Abandoned America; the latter book was selected by both People magazine and USA Today as “Gift Book of the Year.” Shutterbug has proclaimed Steve “a gifted photographer and author.” www.gottliebphoto.com
