Artdoc MagazinePhotography as a form of introspection and emotional resonance
We invite creative photographers to submit work for The Inner Lens — a profound exploration of the private worlds we hold within.
This open call focuses on photography that looks inward, capturing the complexity of introspection and emotion.
In a period marked by change, uncertainty, and shifting politics, we seek images that mirror personal stories.
For this open call, we invite photographic work that explores interior landscapes and captures emotional and psychological depths.
Artdoc welcomes works of abstraction, portraiture, natural scenes, constructed images, and personal stories.
We are interested in work that is sensitive and thoughtful.
