Untitled, Max © Dorthe Alstrup, Charleston, SC Winning color photograph, single image category.  Center (formerly Santa Fe Center for Photography). The Center gets to call itself that because they are that big of a deal.  I always find it interested that when fine art color photography is separated from black and white the difference in… I suppose, cultures, between the two disciplines is so apparent.  Even with my very limited exposure to contemporary fine art photography since 1960 it seems that color photography’s groove was first cut by William Eggleston and his influence continues to be felt by nearly every fine art color photographer I’ve seen since.  Black and white had a longer history but they’re equally strongly influenced by the Magnum photographers a little earlier in the 20th century.  Click through the image above to view the color gallery, then click here to view the black and white gallery.
