Self taught photographer Alain Licari travels to countries including Cuba, Morocco, Haiti, and Ecuador photographing the local landscapes, peoples, and cultures in crisp, evocative black and white compositions. He seeks out harmonies in his environment and in his subjects, building a subtle narrative that is open and fluid.

Politics, socioeconomics, and diversity are key themes in Licari’s work. His deft attention to mise en scene results in humanistic photos in which the photographer captures a moment of genuine connection between real people.

About the Exhibition

The Chelsea International Photography Competition

The Chelsea International Photography Competition exhibition features the diverse works of 28 professional and amateur photographers. The works on view were selected by a distinguished panel of jurors and convey the astonishing breadth and global nature of the photographic medium. Through expressive portraits, still lifes, and conceptual works, the exhibition conveys a unique perspective on the tradition of photography and how the medium conveys ideas, creates fictions, or captures attitudes.
