My grateful thanks to Peter Hay Halpert, and to the jurors: David Harris, Laurie Kratochvil, Sam Shahid, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, and David Schonauer!
Identities Now will be a book comprised of select images submitted by photographers around the globe. The mission is to explore the current state of the photographic portrait through gathering the best work from a diverse cross-section of artists. Every photograph was reviewed by the selection committee, which is comprised of top professionals in photography and the arts. Portraits were chosen based solely on photographic merit in the eyes of this group. It will be a dynamic snapshot of what is happening in contemporary portrait photography, and will serve to promote and celebrate the photographers whose work is chosen.
