Mon. July 22: “Portraits”
Submission Deadline: Tuesday Jul. 16th, 5PM
Portrait photography, or portraiture, is a type of photography aimed toward capturing the personality of a person or group of people though effective settings, manner of dress, lighting, backdrops, and poses. Portraits can be intimate, planned, candid, or captured moments and events. Avoid clinical, “unconnected” imagery, and instead capture the identity, personality, and essence of a subject, tell their story, or convey an emotion. Subjects must be human beings. Animals, flora, fauna, or inanimate objects, are excluded. Make a compelling portrait photograph.
