“For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this (20th) century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.” ~ Jacques-Yves Cousteau
The veneration of fleeting moments of beauty is now intensified by the quickening pace of loss. To what do you pay tribute and seek to bring attention? Where do you find your sense of place, solace or disruption? What moves, replenishes, or disturbs you? How do you express what resonates with your soul in the natural world, be it the birds, bees, plants, trees, or other creatures? What is the story only you can tell?
Deadline for Submission: February 28, 2023
In 2013 PhotoNOLA established the Collectors Club series as a fundraising initiative with a mission to encourage collecting. Through this program we offer the public an opportunity to collect works by great contemporary photographers at an accessible price point. All proceeds support the programming initiatives of PhotoNOLA, a volunteer-run photography festival.
Each year we partner with a photographer to create a limited edition print. The editions of 100 (plus five artist proofs) are beautifully crafted archival pigment prints on 10×12” hot press, 100% cotton rag paper. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist.
The Photo Review Auction features work from the 19th century to the present. Collectors will have the opportunity to bid on work from some of the most famous practitioners of the medium to contemporary stars to fascinating vernacular work by the ubiquitous Unknown.
Published since 1976, the Photo Review is a semi-annual journal covering photography events throughout the country.
Online bidding is open until November 11, 2022, 5:00 p.m. EST.

Portraits and self-portraits have been fixtures in art for centuries. They can reveal both hidden and visible characteristics, create fantasies and myths, describe performative roles, and question identity. How do we construct and project our identity and reality via portraits? Do they open a window into ourselves and our lives, or protect our vulnerabilities? Five of Wendi Schneider’s figurative photographs will be included in the exhibition.
As part of the inaugural Atlanta Art Week, Wendi Schneider’s States of Grace will feature in two different program events hosted at Arnika Dawkins Gallery, beginning with a reception for States of Grace on Saturday, Oct 1st.

Wendi’s images are featured in the Language of the Land edition of Shadow & Light Magazine.
“I create illuminated impressions of glimpses of grace in our vulnerable natural world. My work is a celebration of the senses anchored in the visual – an exploration of my spiritual connection to sinuous organic forms and the transcendence I find in their beauty. I preserve mystical moments that still time for me. Viewing the world in vignettes, I am calmed by the visual balance of a compelling composition. Subtle variations of rich hues move me, and I find magic in the mist and mystery of the obscured . . .”
–– Wendi Schneider

Wendi Schneider’s gold leafed photograph “Around the Corner’ was featured as the Photo of the Day.
An excerpt from a 2018 Rfotofolio interview:
Which photographers and other artists’ work do you admire?
“A long, yet abbreviated list: the Pictorialists – Steichen, Demachy, Eugene, de Meyer, Kuhn, Kasebier, Puyo, Brigman, Coburn, Haviland – Moon, Metzner, Turbeville, Outerbridge, Sudek, Salgado, and so many others. I’m drawn to the simplicity of old Japanese prints and paintings, the gilded work of Klimt and the religious painters of centuries past, Manet, Monet, Heade, Turner, Sargent, Whistler, Courbet . . . the list goes on. I believe everything we see is imprinted on our psyche, perhaps to emerge in a personal incarnation in the future.”

Wendi Schneider: Selected Works
Rick Wester Fine Art
On view until August 31st
526 W 26th St #417, New York, NY
A new selection of gilded photographs by Wendi Schneider can be viewed by appointment at the gallery and online in a virtual exhibition.
The images were printed with archival pigment inks on Japanese kozo paper – made from the inner bark of mulberry trees. White gold leaf was then applied on the verso, infusing the artist’s hand and suffusing the images with the implied spirituality of the precious metal. The filtered, dappled light that glimmered through the branches is echoed in the shimmer of the gilded prints.

Catherine Couturier Gallery
On view June 4 – August 31
Opening Reception:
June 4, 11am – 4pm CT
2635 Colquitt St, Houston, TX
Catherine Couturier Gallery is delighted to present Into the Mist, an exhibition of new work by gallery artist Wendi Schneider.
In her latest series, Schneider offers glimpses of respite amidst the vague unknowing that has defined living in the time of COVID. She ventured into the mountains of North Carolina at the end of Summer 2020 to find a reprieve in shinrin-yoku, the Japanese term for the practice of forest bathing. The photographs captured on a drive amongst the trees and fog inspired Into the Mist.
As we continue to deplete forests and burn the Amazon in the face of increasing global warming, trees have never been more vital to our survival than they are today. Celebrate their existence and their beauty with your images of trees of all sizes and shapes, in all environments and seasons. All captures and processes are welcome.
Five percent (5%) of all submission fees will be donated to the National Forest Foundation, recipient of Charity Navigator‘s highest rating.
Deadline for entries is Monday, June 13, 2022.
The Photography Show presented by AIPAD will be on view from May 20-22, 2022, at Center415 on Fifth Avenue between 37th and 38th streets.
Please find Catherine Couturier Gallery at Booth 212 to view Schneider’s work in person at the first photography fine art fair in New York City since 2019.
