We’re pleased to welcome the Branford Camera Club back to the Gateway Art Gallery for their 3rd Annual Show & Competition this August.
This exhibit continues to grow each year, bringing together a strong range of photographic work — from striking landscapes to quiet, thoughtful studies of everyday life. The variety is part of what makes this show so engaging. Different perspectives, different techniques, and different stories all come together on our walls.
Photography has a unique way of slowing us down. It asks us to look more closely — at light, at timing, at detail. That’s exactly what this annual exhibition celebrates.
