KL Photoawards 2010 for Contemporary Portrait Photography. Portraits are the most photographed genre in photography, from one’s family snaps to a full studio session and not forgetting those special occasions.
Contemporary portraits however may be derived from a wide range of disciplines in photography, from social images like documentary, reportage and editorial fields, to the more considered studio or ’staged’ styles of conceptual ‘tableau’ images.
As in the previous year, the judges will be seeking to unearth new talent and vision from emerging and established artists alike. For the 2010 event, there will no longer be a distinction between Professional and Non-Professional categories. Instead, entrants may submit portraits either as Individual entries or as a Story.
In the Portrait Individual category, the judges will be looking at overall technical skills, composition and challenging aesthetics in a single, stand alone portrait that rises above the rest.
The Portrait Story category is added to enable photographers to enter portraits in a series, along with accompanying narrative. Identifying strong visual narrative that speaks to the viewer is a criterion the judges will be seeking in this category, as artists that use photography creatively rather than camera operators will be rewarded. We feel that understanding the processes of an artist and his or her ability to bring concept to fruition in a series of pictures exemplifies the creativity in the art.
Eligibility The KL PHOTOAWARDS 2010 is open to all photographers, over 14 years, from full time students, enthusiasts, semi-professional to professional photographers.
