The newly formed photography journal seeks to gather photographers of all experience levels, from around the world, to offer a unique view of work being made in the field of photography.
Fieldwork hosts an open call for its first upcoming issue encouraging photographers to submit images considering how their work might add to a newly collected conversation around the theme of time / transition.
Fieldwork seeks a variety of photographic approaches in terms of technique, genre, and skill. We encourage documentary, post-documentary, lyrical, and alternative process / experimental imagery.

Featured Photographer
Caroline Allison (b. 1972, Atlanta, GA) creates photographs that capture the delicate relationship between time, earth, and human existence. Using long exposures and non-traditional methods, Allison’s latest works merge photography and sculpture and draw on diverse influences from literature, medieval history and physics. Using time and light, the raw materials of photography, Allison expands the concept of our relative place within the world and universe.
Allison received her BA from Sewanee: The University of the South and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. A 2022 recipient of the Individual Artist Fellowship from the Tennessee Arts Commission and a 2023 NEA Distinguished Fellowship through Hambidge Center, Allison’s work has been featured at ZieherSmith Gallery (Nashville), Zeitgeist Gallery (Nashville), Howard Greenberg Gallery (NYC), the Bronx Museum of Art, Lehmann Maupin (NYC), and the Chicago Cultural Center.
