A portal suggests passage. It invites us to look through, step beyond, or imagine what lies on the other side.
For Portals: New Perspectives, we invite photographs that explore openings, thresholds, and points of transition. Windows, doorways, mirrors, gates, archways, reflections, and frames within frames may serve as literal portals, while shifts in light, shadow, or perspective can transform familiar spaces into something unexpected.
We also welcome more interpretive approaches. A portal might represent change, movement, memory, or emotional transition. Whether urban or rural, interior or exterior, documentary or conceptual, show us how photography opens new ways of seeing.
