The Color photograph. We want to celebrate Color in all its forms at the SE Center. Our juror would like to see creativity and self-expression. He has no preference subject, or style but would like to be able to see the photographer's mind at work, his or her use of visual composition and original thinking.

Our Juror Dreams & Visions is Michael Pannier, opening his first gallery in the Washington, DC suburbs in 1987, Michael has continuously been involved in art and photography gallery circles. Initially concentrating on works on paper and multiples, he has been focused on photography for the past 20 years.

Based in his Greenville, SC studio, conveniently located between the Charlotte and Atlanta metro areas, he frequently travels to Los Angeles and New York maintaining studio relationships in both locations. Working on personal projects, Michael may be found wandering the streets of major cities or the desolation of the desert southwest.
Michael hosts and conducts fine art photography workshops in his studio and on location in Death Valley, the Alabama Hills and the Owens Valley, and Joshua Tree.
