2022 National Triptych Salon Information


Introduction

Nelson Camera Club’s National Triptych Salon was initiated to encourage and stimulate photographers in the skill of creating three images that not only work well together but also succeed in providing a total impression on the viewer that is greater than the sum of the three individual photographs.

​
For the purpose of this Salon a triptych is a presentation made up of three (and only three) distinctly separated photographic images displayed on a common background. The subject matter is open.
