self explanatory
Suggested by Riton

The explanation can't be blank.
Suggested by Scott

Can represents the beginning and the end, the white and the black, the two opposites, as in the B/W photography.
Suggested by Alessio using Word Atoms "Monocrome" and "opening"

you are exposing the art to the community....photography goes thru an exposure process....and the big one is that if you choose to carry color photography later on, you don't have to change the name

Combining Inspire (what art does) and photography
Suggested by Martin

Legacy suggests long-lived and valuable. Of enough value to pass on to the next generation. Lens just positions the business in it's niche.

No explanation needed really. Close is added for rythm and repeating "s" sound.
Suggested by Ben

A gallery name that's a bit pretentious, but communicates the essence of what B/W photography is - shadows.

A gallery that specializes in the personal touch that photography can offer.
Suggested by John using Word Atoms "opening" and "Handmade"

combining black and ART
Suggested by grant

A concept in photography for tightening up the depth of field on an image. Seems to indicate we are focusing on a very tight range of photographers (local and B&W)
Suggested by Doyle

Point from "point and shoot", "focal point", "Hey, look at that". Local (self explanatory) showcases local artists.
Suggested by Doyle

Since silver is used in the emulsion process, it not only makes sense but is catchy as well.
Suggested by Doyle

Explains your gallery's intentions in one succinct word.
Suggested by joseph

Pictures from a local point of view.
Suggested by Annette

Play on words. Chiaroscuro and obscure, since the local photographers are likely unknown.
Suggested by Annette

Chiaroscuro (Italian for light-dark) is a term in art for a contrast between light and dark. The term is usually applied to bold contrasts affecting a whole composition, but is also more technically used by artists and art historians for the use of effects representing contrasts of light, not necessarily strong, to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects such as the human body.
Suggested by Annette

local artists are "underexposed" and the gallery is helping them come into the light and share their work.
