The LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph takes place June 13-19 at various city locations, and includes free community events, exhibitions and outdoor projections, talks by professional photographers and opportunities for aspiring photographers to share their work not only with each other but with the pros as well. We highlight some of this year’s featured photographers, followed by a Q&A about photos on display in their homes, joyful and harrowing experiences capturing images and what they’ve shot recently. C-VILLE Weekly writer Sarah Lawson chats with LOOK3’s director about a slate of free community events, such as a print share, a panel discussion on emerging photographers, a pop-up book fair and Family Photo Day. And don’t miss the winners of our photo contest! This year we received approximately 200 entries showing slices of life in Charlottesville and the surrounding area.
