Alumni Listings & Archives

CENTER has served over 2,100 photographers through our programs in the past 30 years. The Alumni Archives provide a comprehensive survey of exceptional photographers selected by a new independent juror each year, who have contributed to the evolution of the field. Alumni are CENTER Award or Grant recipients and Review Santa Fe participants.

We invite you to use this as an ongoing resource for photographic talent and testimonials. For more from our alumni, visit the Review Santa Fe Listing and the Photography 20/20 Compendium.
