Honoring the art of photography
1839 Awards, named after one of the most formative years in the history of photography, is a contest and platform celebrating the art of photography and all those who continue to explore the medium’s capabilities.
The premier black and white photo contest. At Exposure One, we believe that a black and white palette is where the medium of photography comes to life. Our goal is to celebrate the timeless, eternal nature of black and white photography through the vivid images of our global community.
