Collect + Support
In 2013 PhotoNOLA established the Collectors Club series as a fundraising initiative with a mission to encourage collecting. Through this program we offer the public an opportunity to collect works by great contemporary photographers at an accessible price point. All proceeds support the programming initiatives of PhotoNOLA, a volunteer-run photography festival.
Each year we partner with a photographer to create a limited edition print. The editions of 100 (plus five artist proofs) are beautifully crafted archival pigment prints on 10×12” hot press, 100% cotton rag paper. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist.

Natasha Sanchez is a New Orleans-based photographer who uses found natural objects and sunlight to create lumen prints on expired photo paper. “The technique we now know as the lumen print process has its origins in photography’s earliest experiments,” Sanchez writes.” One aspect of this process I truly love is that each print is a unique impression of natural elements, of light. The archival pigment print, Northern Camellia features an image size on 10×12” paper. Read more here.
