In celebration of Month of Photography, the Center for Fine Art Photography presents an online exhibition juried by Lisa Volpe, Associate Curator of Photography at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

From the moment photography was announced to the world, its first practitioners were already altering their images to suit particular messages, styles, and points of view.

Today’s digital technology has revealed the endless malleability of the photographic image and opened new doors of artistic practice. The fracture, sampling, appropriation, and layering that define the field of digital media have also become fundamental concepts in photography.

The artists featured in this exhibition have embraced contemporary methods of image alteration in order to present a variety of viewpoints. Layering imagery, cultural commentary, and a wide variety of materials, these works of art explore themes of ancestry, nature, consumerism, and memory. In our digital age, image alteration is more relevant than ever, not only as a rich formal language, but also as a mode of contemporary expression.
