Two photographers can stand in the same place and see completely different things.

That is what makes photography so personal.

Your choices of light, framing, timing, and perspective shape how a moment is remembered. The 8th Chelsea International Photography Competition is looking for photographers with their own way of seeing.

Could your perspective be part of the next exhibition in Chelsea, New York?

Deadline for the 8th CIPC is on November 3. Enter by October 19 to receive 10% off: https://bit.ly/4z5ols3
