Lovebirds shot by National Geographic photographer Daniel Cox, who will be at the Photography as Art show by the Boca Grande Camera Club.

Nineteen photographers will exhibit as well as Cox. Much of the work will be on sale.

In 2012, a total of 22 artists displayed their works with more than $2,000 in sales during the show, Elliott said.

Elliott said exposure and networking with friends is the primary focus of the show, which has become an established favorite among islanders in its first three years.
