📸 October Photo Competition: Portraiture 👤✨📷
A new month means a brand-new photo competition! This October, we’re exploring one of photography’s most rewarding subjects — Portraiture. From natural light and creative flash to black & white, self portraits and posing, each week will focus on a different way to capture personality, character and emotion through people.
Week 1: Natural-Light Portraits ☀️🪟📷
We’re kicking things off with one of the simplest and most beautiful ways to create a portrait — using the light that’s already around you.
A window, an open doorway, soft outdoor shade or late-afternoon sunlight can completely transform an ordinary moment. This week is all about learning to notice that available light and use it to shape your subject, create mood and bring out genuine expression — no flash or studio setup required.
Whether you’re photographing family, friends, a model or someone you meet along the way, show us how you use natural light to bring your portrait to life. ✨
🏆 October Prizes:
🥇 1st Prize: TTArtisan NEO 50mm f/1.8 AF Lens — Sony E or Nikon Z Mount
🥈 2nd Prize: TTArtisan NEO 50mm f/1.8 AF Lens — Sony E or Nikon Z Mount
Weighing just 157g and featuring a bright f/1.8 aperture with quiet STM autofocus, it’s a compact full-frame prime made for beautiful subject separation, low-light shooting and, of course, portrait photography.
