Manhattan Borough President Gallery
1 Centre Street
19th Floor New York NY 10007

Details: Commerce is an essential element of our lives. From hot dogs to real estate, the world continuously bustles with transactions big and small. Advertisers blanket the streets and airwaves with images selling goods, ideas, personalities, and ways of living. Whether paying a subway fare or working 9 to 5 at an office, most people contribute to this financial traffic on a daily basis. As a photographer, can you capture commerce in a way that elevates it from the routine?

What are the creative ways in which people do business? How do sellers tempt their customers? How does the exchange of money color interactions between people? What is the psychology behind a sale? Show us the images of commerce that you find evocative, unusual, humorous, and beyond. When artistry, insight and a fresh point of view combine, commerce becomes anything but commonplace.
Payment Details: $35.00 for 6 digital images. Make check or money order payable to PWP.
Cost: $35.00
