QCG Photographic Exhibition — From Vision to Voice - The Photographer’s Journey

Are you ready to take your photography to the next level? Participate in our upcoming gallery exhibition and showcase your talent to a wider audience.

From Vision to Voice: The Artist’s Journey is more than just an exhibition—it aims to be a celebration of your creative journey. Every photograph tells two stories: one of its creation and one of the artist who brought it to life. We’re inviting you to showcase an image that represents a pivotal moment in your photographic journey—whether it’s a breakthrough, a piece that speaks most authentically to your voice, or something that reflects how you’ve grown as an artist. This exhibition will reflect the growth, passion, and expression of our photographers collectively, creating a powerful narrative that connects us all. Held at the prestigious Maud Gallery, with works for sale, we’re looking for images of the highest standard—art that resonates deeply and has strong public appeal. We’ll also invite you to briefly share your journey to the image you select, adding your personal voice to the visual story.
