New Solo Show: 'Rural Life in the Hudson Valley' by Susan Anthony

All About Photo is pleased to present ‘Rural Life in the Hudson Valley’ by Susan Anthony as the winning project of our September 2025 Solo Exhibition.

For the past five years, Anthony has been documenting the people and traditions of upstate New York. What began during the pandemic—walking rural roads with her camera and meeting local residents—has grown into an intimate portrait of a community deeply rooted in the Hudson Valley. Her photographs reveal multi-generational families, homeschooling households, and farming communities whose resilience and traditions continue to thrive.

The exhibition highlights Anthony’s passion for documenting communities over time, capturing both the quiet rhythms of everyday life and the strength of bonds that connect people to each other and to the land.

‘Rural Life in the Hudson Valley’ is on view in the Solo Exhibition section of All About Photo throughout September 2025.

More information here Our 52nd printed issue of AAP Magazine will feature the best projects showcasing the theme "STREET".

Encyclopedia Britannica defines Street photography has "a genre that records everyday life in a public place."

Photographers have been documenting their environment since the invention of photography. The image "View of the Boulevard du Temple" by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, shows a Parisian street in 1838. Later encouraged by improvements in the portability and quality of cameras many photographers decided to record urban life. Charles Nègre, Eugene Atget, Alfred Stieglitz, Andre Kertesz, Berenice Abbott, Henri Cartier Bresson, Brassaï, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, Vivian Maier, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, William Eggleston... are amongst the many iconic photographers who captured changes in the fast-paced world of life in towns and cities.

Capturing the essence of the urban lifestyle is now both a popular form of art and an important medium of communicating the heart and soul of a society and its people.

Send us a cohesive body of work or portfolio - capturing the weird and wonderful moments unfolding around you! The subject is completely up to you. Any capture method or process, whether digital or analog, including monochromatic toning, is welcome.
