What category do I use for sepia?
Posted: May 9, 2008 - 1:59pm

I'm new to displaying my photos at art shows and have found that oftentimes the categories are: color, black and white, or
special effects. I'd like to put in some sepia prints but don't know if they should go in under black and white. Any ideas?

Rowan, they would go in the B&W category. There were sepia-toned prints long before there was color photography......

Sepia is considered black and white photography.

What art show is making you micro manage your application? Does applying under black and white preclude you from showing any color work in your booth?

If you reply to this post, please contact me off list also so I'm aware of your response. I do have some additional tips on how your images, especially your booth shot should be prepared.
