by Truth + Beauty

This new, all-digital platform expands our viewing audience, art network and global reach, while carrying forward the values, integrity, and pursuits that the urban gallery proudly possessed. Think of THE COMMOTION as Truth and Beauty's spirit ascended to 'the cloud', residing now as an integrated commercial virtual photography salon, operating in a sustainable sphere on the web.

Our Four Foundational Pillars :

The Print Room

Online Viewing Room

Culture

Community

The Commotion Digital Gallery represents the work of 90+ independent, international photographers, and hosts digital exhibitions; talks and instructional workshops on Zoom; a podcast; and a variety of engaging public programmes. Peppa conducts portfolio reviews for individual photographers, groups and review festivals, provides mentorship and a host of advisory services on career objectives and development - in person, or remotely.
