Each image in the exhibit has gone through national-level image competition, each image carefully evaluated by trained jurors for impact, technical excellence, creativity, and emotional connection. What you will see in this exhibit is not just beautiful photography—it’s work that represents the highest professional image standards in Alberta, Canada.
What truly elevates the exhibit is the range and depth of talent. From emotive portraits and powerful documentary moments to striking commercial and fine art imagery, the collection reflects the diversity of photographic voices across Alberta, all united by a shared dedication to continual growth and mastery of the craft. There’s also something incredibly meaningful about experiencing these images printed and displayed. Seeing them at scale allows you to fully appreciate the artistry, intention, and skill behind each piece—something that simply can’t be replicated on a screen.
The Best of Alberta Exhibit is a celebration of community, professionalism, and creative excellence, and a powerful reminder of why supporting professional photographers matters.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that the Exposure Photography Festival is situated on land adjacent to where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Moh’kins’tsis”, which we now call the City of Calgary. This is the traditional Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. It is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. We honour and acknowledge all Nations, who live, work and play in Moh’kins’tsis, help steward this land, and honour and celebrate this territory.
