Picture this—a whole month dedicated to the art of photography.
Now in its second year, Saint Petersburg Month of Photography (SPMOP) hosts an array of free events throughout the month of May, including six planned exhibitions and two private collection tours.
The
Morean Arts Center hosts this year’s Photo Laureate competition finalists exhibition from May 5-25. The finalists are Christa Moody, David Moreno, José Ramirez, Ric Savid and Marian Tagliarino, each of whom are well-established in their varying photographic genres from photojournalism, environmental photography and photo collage. The winner will be announced during a special ceremony on May 11.
The organization also collaborated with the Museum of Motherhood for Mother Lens: Four Visions of Motherhood featuring photographic works including visual essays and portrait series. Works by Mikaela Martin, Águeda Sanfiz, Jena Love and Angelika Kollin will be on display at the museum from May 11 through May 31 at the MOM located at
The Factory in St. Petersburg.
For a special private collection tour on May 7, visit the Trenam Law Offices in Tampa. This American photography collection spans over 100 years and includes a variety of photographic methods and styles. There is limited space available, but you must register via

SPMOP is also looking forward to the release of the previous year’s Photo Laureate competition winner Richard Sayers Ellis’ photobook and exhibition "PARADISE | PARADISE layered” in June at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts.
