The deadline for turning in Competition images is Thursday, October 5. Check the website for the latest details

Marcel Fouch -- our judge for October’s competition “The Urban Landscape” -- has been a professional musician for over 30 years with a love for photography. When the pandemic hit he decided to step back and focus on photography as a way to stay creative.

He is based in Chicago. His photographic work is mainly street photography focused on black and white images. Shadows and light are his main focus making many of his photographs feel like memories. A lot of his work has a theme of isolation, something everyone was feeling during the Pandemic and a feeling that continues for some today.

Marcel was chosen as the first Featured Artist for Roberts Camera Gallery in July, so you may have become acquainted with his work.
