Call for Entry: Online Group Exhibition - “Nonconformity” - Winter 2025

Online Group ExhibitionCalls for Entry
Written By Michael Behlen
 

“Fanny” by Daniel George

Why do we do the things we do? What forces shape our choices, behavior, and sense of identity?

Analog Forever invites photographic artists working with film and analog processes to submit works that explore the cultural, social, and psychological pressures that inform our actions. As we consider the expectations placed upon us, what motivates conformity, rebellion, and everything in between?

We are looking for work that investigates the forces that mold identity, broadly or personally.

Who sets the standards that we follow or resist? What can be gained by challenging normative stereotypes and expectations? How might acts of nonconformity lead to a more conscious, meaningful, and self-determined life?

Submit now!

Deadline for Submissions: February 1st, 2026.

Michael Behlen
Michael Behlen is a photography enthusiast from Fresno, CA. He works in finance and spends his free time shooting instant film and seeing live music, usually a combination of the two. He has self- published two Polaroid photobooks--“Searching for Stillness, Vol. 1” and “I Was a Pioneer,” literally a boxed set of his instant film work. He exhibited a variety of his photos at Raizana Teas, a Fresno tea room and health food store; his work there, “Polaroid Prints of Landscapes and Strangers,” was up for viewing during the months of June and July, 2014. He has been published, been interviewed, and been reviewed in a quantity of magazines, from” F-Stop” and “ToneLit” to “The Film Shooter’s Collective.” He loves the magic sensuality of instant film: its saturated, surreal colors; the unpredictability of the medium; it’s addictive qualities as you watch it develop. Behlen is the founder and Publisher of “Pryme Magazine.” You can see his work here: www.dontshakeitlikeapolaroid.com
