The 4th annual Silvershotz 2011 Folio photography artist list has just been announced. Photographer, Emmanuel Coupe-Kalomiris, is one of 31 photographers from 12 countries selected for this prestigious Folio Annual. Silvershotz distributes 10,000 folio journals to 1400 bookstores in 17 countries plus a further 2,000 journals are mailed free of charge to leading galleries and institutions in 19 countries.
The Silvershotz 2011 Folio journal is a special edition collection of contemporary emerging artists who are carefully selected by a jury panel of industry experts. Photographers from around the world must submit a folio of 15 images. The images are selected on the following criteria: technical skills, a themed and cohesive body of work, consistent excellence in every image in the folio and the intellect behind the folios presented.
Previous folio participants have been offered one person exhibitions, have had their work reproduced in publications and sold more work to collectors.

I will exhibit new work from the Swiss Alps in the Galerie Kunsthalle starting December 16th. The exhibition will feature a collection of large format prints and will last until early spring. For more information on the Gallery and opening hours follow this LINK

The winning series is from my winter trip to the Canadian Rockies and can be seen HERE.

I received good news from the Epson Pano Awards. I was awarded 1 Silver and 5 Bronze medals in the Landscape category and my only submission in Architecture brought home another Silver. Not bad at all for a first timer, looking already forward to next year.
Same goes for the Black and White Spider awards for which I received 4 nominations. 2 In the nature category and 2 more in Architecture.
