HONORABLE MENTION
LEANNE TRIVETT S.
I am a visual artist and photographer who speaks through the lens - using photography as a vessel for self-inquiry, emotional resonance, and lyrical storytelling. My work moves between self-portraiture, experimental florals, abstraction and emotion - where identity is not fixed, but layered, abstracted, and continuously reimagined.
Inspired by my background in theatre and vocal performance, I carry a love for transformation. Each photograph is a moment from an unfolding, internal play - some staged, others stolen in their spontaneity. I am drawn to both the narrative and the pause, and the in-betweens that often say the most. At the heart of my work lies duality - photography as both mirror and threshold. Within this poetic tension, I explore the tender seams of psyche, ego, spirit, and soul, crafting visual subjects that feel both intimate and yet universal. With my camera as compass, I trace the intricate edges of my inner world seeking the moments where emotion spills into form.
My work comes from my personal photographs, I use techniques such as ICM, blur, layering, and multiple exposures - both in and out of camera. These methods allow me to move beyond the literal and into a dreamlike terrain. Each frame is a gesture of curiosity, a fragment of a story unfolding in the space between self and viewer.
In every piece of my art, I hope to build a bridge - one that reaches from the depths of my inner world to the heart of the viewer, where vulnerability meets vision, and self recognition and humanity are reflected back.
Leanne Trivett S, is an award-winning photographer and visual artist whose work blends the personal and poetic through experimental self-portraiture, emotive florals, and abstract imagery. With a BFA in Theatre from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and a background as a professional singer, her foundation in performance deeply informs her visual storytelling—bringing theatricality, emotion, and character into her photographs.
Her colorful, contemporary imagery has been widely exhibited in the U.S. and internationally, including at the Los Angeles Center of Photography, Griffin Museum of Photography, CfPA in Carmel, KFF FotoFest in Japan, Millepiani Gallery in Rome, BRAHM Museum, PH21 Gallery in Budapest, BURNING MAN 2025, and Fotonostrum in Barcelona. Leanne’s work has appeared on the covers and pages of publications like ArtAscent (Silver Award for Florals), SHOTS (Spring 2025 cover), Black & White Magazine (Interview, Features), ARTDOC, Dodho (Featured and Interviews), Monochromica, Inside Sacramento, Women United, SKYIE Magazine.
She is the winner of the EMERGE 2024 Fellowship, the Photography Performance Solo Show with A Smith Gallery, and a selected satellite artist for D’ART Gallery. Additional honors include the Julia Margaret Cameron Awards (2022–2024), Refocus Awards, ND Awards, and Portfolio Platform 2024/2025.
As an educator and speaker, Leanne teaches at Santa Fe Workshops, Maine Media, Chicago Botanic Garden, Camversation (UK), and Pacific Northwest Art School. She regularly gives international art talks for groups such as the Edinburgh Photographic Society, FYV, and photography clubs across the U.S.
From her studio, she continues to explore themes of identity, memory, and transformation using only her own photography. Currently, she is focused on teaching, collaborating, and preparing for three upcoming solo exhibitions.

JANE GOTTLIEB
Jane Gottlieb is a photographer living in Southern California, where she was born and raised. In her early twenties, she made her first trip by herself as a young
professional to Europe. The images she took then, and in many subsequent trips, have been a touchstone of her life’s work. She has returned to them again and again in the last decades, changing them progressively to meet her vision as the technology available to her has
advanced.
But Gottlieb’s vision is not like anyone else’s. It is riotous in color, hyper-vibrant in energy, and deeply Californian, shot through with a purely Mexican palette. When she discovered the possibility of hand-painting cibachrome prints, she had the tools to change the world to match
her vision. Printing from her library of color slides, she could brighten them up and give them to new exciting life. The possibility of saturated, unrealistic color was released from Pandora’s box, not to cause trouble but to irritate the eye like a grain of sand in an oyster, producing beautiful pearls of perception.
The first-hand painted Cibachromes were laborious to create but were unlike anything other photographers were doing. With digital technology, this began to change
much more dramatically. She was limited at first by the software and the quality of printing, but in the last decade, these limits have been removed. At the same time, her images and her color have moved further and further into the realm of sharp-toned fantasy.

Prices from $2000 - $12,000

IGAL STULBACH
I'm a visual artist making photography, documentary films and video art. I'm
exploring the borders between those fields. My way is constant search and experimentation. I am a flaneur. My photography is also influenced by the
Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi. Born in Krakow Poland in the year 1949 to
Holocaust survivors, since 1959 living in Bat Yam, Israel.
I started my artistic activity at a relatively late age. In the year 2015 I made a documentary film named “Group portrait” ( Short monologues by second-generation Holocaust survivors) which was broadcast on Israeli national TV -channel 10 and screened in several cinematheques. My video art and photography works have been shown in exhibitions in Israel and abroad. I received awards for my artworks in several photography and film contests and festivals. My photographs have been published in print and online magazines.

LA LADS 2010 is a series I shot around the beaches, skateparks and streets of Los Angeles in the early 2000s. I was drawn to the people who gathered there — skaters, surfers, friends, people watching, hanging out, showing off. The scenes seemed to form naturally around the beach and the streets. The photographs then disappeared onto a hard drive for fifteen years. Finding them again felt like opening a time capsule. The clothes and characters take you straight back to the time before camera phones, yet the instinct to gather, watch and belong - feels timeless. To me, they’re a record of particular communities, a place and a moment that still feels completely alive.
I’m originally from Yorkshire, UK, and moved to London in my twenties to work in television. I went on to direct and shoot primetime TV, documentaries, promos and music videos for twenty-five years.

I am a photographer and moving‑image artist whose work explores cultural identity, everyday environments, and the visual rhythms of global travel. My practice focuses on capturing the vibrancy, intricacy, and emotional resonance of lived experience, encouraging viewers to see beyond the everyday and recognise the beauty embedded in ordinary spaces. Drawing from time spent across Europe and Asia, my work reflects a personal and evolving relationship with place and belonging.
I am an award-winning artist and photographer that has been creating art for twenty years. Five of those years I was based in London studying photography at the Camberwell College of Arts at the UAL. From there I received a BA in Photography and a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design. I have exhibited artwork internationally in the US in New York, LA, Art Basel Miami & San Francisco, as well as in Athens and Budapest.
I have also exhibited nationally in the UK and London. I have been published in many art magazines in the UK and journals internationally and exhibited my video artwork in galleries & film festivals around the world.
