Brief
One of the biggest challenges in photography is capturing movement, whether that’s freezing the action unfolding in front of you with fast shutter speeds or flash, or creating an implied sense of movement with long exposures or camera panning. Whichever technique you choose, there are a whole host of potential subjects on offer. We’d like to see your creative interpretations of movement, whether it’s people on the go, animals in motion, the dynamism of sports, or trains, planes and automobiles.
