Q2/2018 Competition: Portraiture
Our next competition features the intimate contact via portraiture, when you capture the personality of your subject using the effective lighting, backdrops, and poses. In the portraiture you can go as wide as you can even think of – use the natural/ambient light only or take your shot in a studio environment with the use different lighting techniques – three-point lighting, key-light, high-key, low-key, fill-in light, back-light or get the strobist touch to you outdoor shot balancing the ambient with speedlight.
When shooting portraits, you can be inspired by many well-known photographers – Annie Leibowitz, Steve McCurry, Lee Jeffries, Helmut Newton, Peter Hurley and many, many others.
It can be a traditional portrait, environmental portrait, candid portrait or a glamor one. You can go as far as surreal or abstract portraiture.
Take you camera for outdoor, play with your camera in the studio – you have multiple options to capture feelings, emotions, overall atmosphere
The pictures should represent an innovative approach to the topic; we will evaluate your creativity, technical quality and uniqueness of the content.
NOTE: this is the photographer’s responsibility to have full authority rights or model release to publish taken portraits.
Happy shooting and we look forward to your submissions!
