The presentation features Kennedi Carter, recipient of the 2025 PhotoNOLA Review Prize, and Camille Farrah Lenain, awarded the Michael P. Smith Fund for Documentary Photography. Their work anchors the exhibition, offering two distinct approaches to portraiture, narrative, and the evolving language of photographic storytelling.

Alongside these honored artists, the exhibition includes new and recent work by Jamal Barnes, Daymon Gardner, Hunter Holder, Jason Kerzinski, Leslye Kohl, Charles Lovell, Colin Roberson, and Meg Turner. Together, the artists reflect the breadth of photographic expression found across the Gulf South and beyond, ranging from documentary and environmental portraiture to conceptual and experimental image-making.

PhotoNOLA Invitational underscores the continued vitality of photography in New Orleans and celebrates the artists shaping the medium today.

Arthur Roger Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 AM–5 PM.
