Linda Chaussèe Receives Chromatic Photography Awards
Linda Chaussèe has received four awards in the 2025 Chromatic Photography Awards, all in the professional category. She received a third place award in the architecture category and honorable mentions for images in the still life, conceptual and landscape categories. Congratulations!
Her entry in the architecture category was Monument Valley, which can also be seen in an earlier event blog posting.
Her entry in the still life category was Arrangement in Pale Green and Light, which she describes as follows: “This medium format analog photograph captures a moment of quiet equilibrium, where light, texture, and form converge within a restrained interior. A woven chair, softly illuminated, becomes the focal point of contemplation, a meditation on presence and absence. Subtle tonal shifts and the measured play of light transform the space into one of reflection and stillness. In an era marked by speed and distraction, this work offers a sense of calm and affirms the enduring relevance of slow observation and the quiet beauty of light.”

Her entry in the conceptual category was Veritas, which she describes as follows: “Veritas, meaning truth, has long carried classical and moral weight. In this photograph, truth is not revealed but veiled. The covered figure becomes a quiet paradox: what was once a symbol of openness is now hidden from view. The drapery suggests care and preservation, yet it also speaks of silence and control. Within the folds of fabric, the echo of the female form evokes lost ideals that were never given a voice of their own. The image reflects on how history is shaped by what is chosen to be seen and what is left behind. Captured on medium-format analog film, the work considers truth as both process and presence. In a world shaped by computer-generated images, it asks whether what we see can still be trusted as real.”

Her entry in the landscape category was Study in Salt and Air, which she describes as follows: “This medium format analog photograph, taken in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, captures a moment of rare stillness where land, water, and sky dissolve into one another. The basin’s reflective surface mirrors distant mountains and drifting clouds, softening the boundary between earth and air. Through its muted palette and quiet symmetry, the image reflects on transience, revealing how even in the planet’s most arid landscapes, light and time create brief harmonies of balance and calm.”
