Allora Gallery invites photographers from around the world to submit work for our upcoming online group exhibition, "Serenity."

In a world that rarely stops moving, some photographs ask us to pause. The stillness of a misty lake at dawn, the soft light that falls just before sunset, the quiet geometry of an empty landscape — these are the moments that slow us down and remind us to breathe. Serenity is not the absence of life; it is its quieter register, the spaces where the world exhales.

We're looking for photographs that carry this quality. Images that slow the eye, that hold stillness without emptiness, that find calm in a world that rarely stops moving. Landscapes and seascapes, misty mornings and soft evening light, minimalist compositions where space does the work, reflections, fog, the hour after sunset — all are welcome. Portraits, street scenes, and abstract work too, if they carry that same sense of calm. There are no strict genre boundaries here — only the question of whether the photograph gives you that feeling of serenity.

What moments of serenity do you find through your lens? We'd love to see the places, lights, and silences that give you that feeling of calm — whether it's a landscape you return to again and again, or a fleeting moment of stillness caught unexpectedly.
