Key Light Alumni Photography Challenge 2021
SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace created the Key Light Alumni Photography Challenge 2021 to provide a platform for alumni of the university's award-winning photography program, asking a select group of graduates — each recognized for their unique gifts of design and execution — to take inspiration from the current SCAD FASH exhibition Albert Watson: The Light Behind the Lens. A team of judges, including professors, curators, and Watson himself, evaluated the photographs, provided feedback, and awarded standout works.
"Key light" is a photography term that describes the central or most important light source in creating the form of a subject. The word "key" can also reference music, solving a problem, the act of unlocking, or deciphering a map. When discussing his work, Watson often speaks about the importance of positioning the key light. This presidential initiative challenged the graduates to consider Watson's work and expert use of light as a point of departure from which to achieve their own vision.
