Copyright Policy

Photographers retain all rights, including copyright, to their photographs. We will never distribute your photographs to anyone without your permission.

Image Usage Rights

You grant Decagon Gallery permission to use your photographs in the online exhibition, the exhibition catalog and to promote the exhibition.

Night Works invites photographers to submit images made after dark, where night is not simply a setting but an active collaborator. These photographs may be dramatic or understated, urban or rural, populated or solitary. They may explore artificial light, long exposures, ambient glow, or near-total darkness. What matters is not subject, but how the night shapes the image.

​We are drawn to photographs where darkness informs mood, structure, and meaning—where light is used deliberately, sparingly, or imperfectly. Night can suggest intimacy, isolation, vulnerability, calm, unease, or reflection. We welcome all interpretations.​
