LensCulture is a global community of photographers and industry professionals that became an authoritative resource for contemporary photography through a community of over 2.5 million participants. The collaboration with Cortona On The Move wants to expand the possibility of sharing and discovery in an international context of professionals and amateurs that promotes the exchange and the opportunity of exposure and recognition. Through this partnership, photographers can apply to be exhibited at Cortona On The Move international photo festival, as well as gain access to many opportunities for exposure and recognition through LensCulture.
Cortona On The Move, in its 8th edition this year, continues its partnership with LensCulture to seek strong and original documentary work from all over the world.
New Visions stems from the desire to follow up closely the ever-changing language of photography. Visual essays need to play with a new grammar and challenge the eyes of the viewer in order to be seen and to keep communicating a strong message and offer new emotions.
In the spirit of our motto “on the move”, they will value the originality of style and language with which the works have been conceived and created. Concept and execution go hand in hand, and the output should strive to attract a broad audience and to surprise/provoke/inform/move. Novelty in form and content are our keywords.
