Local Photographer’s Work Goes to International Exhibition

Photographs created by Robert L. Harris, Jr. of Robert Harris Photography in Richmond, VA and South Hill, VA has recently been accepted into the (GENERAL/LOAN) Collection of Professional Photographers of America's 2011International Photographic Competition. Harris' work will be on display at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, January 15-17, 2012, in New Orleans, La. This exhibition is held in conjunction with Imaging USA, an annual convention of professional photographers and several photographic associations.

A panel of jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from more than 4,000 total submitted entries at Gwinnett Technical College in Georgia. Judged against a standard of excellence, Harris' portrait "The Theatre Director" was selected for the esteemed Loan Collection—the best of the best. The Loan Collection images will all be published in the much-anticipated “Loan Collection” book, and over 200 selected General Collection images will be published in the “Showcase” book by Marathon Press.

Titled "The Theatre Director", Harris' entry will be on display in New Orleans at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center alongside other photographic works from PPA’s photographic competition and traveling and special invitational displays. These images constitute one of the world’s largest annual exhibits of professional photography gathered simultaneously under one roof.
