diVine Insights: A Journey Through the World of Wine
Join us to celebrate the wonderful world of wine, through all its geographical, historical, cultural and social nuances.
Exhibit Around APS and dotART, the associations promoting the International Photography Festival Trieste Photo Days, invite all photographers worldwide to participate in this new, exciting Open Call!
The project
diVine Insights is a photographic journey into the wonderful, rich and complex world of wine.
Born as a reflection on the importance of winemaking in the history of our region, with this call we are looking to explore how the passion for wine around the world has resisted the challenges of time, allowing viticulture to prosper and grow.
The project includes the publication of a book, as well as photographic exhibitions, meetings and special guests and will be presented at the 11th edition of International Photography Festival Trieste Photo Days 2024.
The theme
The call aims to collect testimonies by local and international photographers who offer their perspective on the world of wine and viticulture: their ecological, social and/or geographical impact on the territory, people and cultures.
Whether it's a photo reportage or immortalizing a moment of pleasure with a glass in your hand, we can’t wait to see wine through your lens!
For who is it for
Calling all photographers worldwide! Whether you have a single photo or an entire project/portfolio, we want to hear from you.
Selected photographers will have the chance to win important prizes, become part of a great photographic exhibition and to be featured in the photographic volume.
All within the incredible framework of International Photography Festival Trieste Photo Days, in the presence of important special guests and internationally renowned photographers.
Le foto
The photographs must be aimed at exploring the historical, sociological or geographical culture of wine, and/or the relationship between man and viticulture.
Each author is free to choose the genre of photography that best represents them: portrait, landscape, still life, social reportage, street photography, creative photography, documentary photography, fine art, etc.
To get inspired
