Fall 2009 University of Portland's Juried Student Photography Exhibition

Of all the news and services the Portland Metro Photographic News provides to the Pacific Northwest photo community, our Student Gallery ranks as our favorite section. Having the opportunity to showcase the work of tomorrow's photographers as they discover their own unique visions is an honor.

This Student Gallery exhibit displays the art of the photography students from the University of Portland.

The University of Portland Juried Student Photography Exhibition was inaugurated in 2005. All UP students currently enrolled in photography courses are eligible to submit anonymous entries each semester. A panel of judges selects photos for display in three categories:
  • People and Portraits
  • Landscape and Nature
  • Artist’s Choice
They also award a Best in Show. The selected photos are exhibited in the Buckley Center Auditorium lobby for one semester, and a new group is selected each semester.

Photography courses offered in the Fall 2009 semester are: Introduction to Black and White Photography; Color Photography; and Creative Photography, which consists of a range of alternative photographic processes. These classes are taught by Patricia Bognar.

The jurors for the Fall 2009 exhibit were Deirdre Smith, Cecily Caceu, and Ty Buset.

Shown below are this year's award winning images.
