This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s Leaderboard.
Shooting against a plain background is the best method we have for bringing the viewer’s attention onto our subject alone, and the white background is as straightforward and clean as you can get. It’s the colour you’ll most likely have at your disposal in a studio, where walls are usually white, and even outdoors there is usually a white wall with some degree of cleanliness not too far away. Any subject is allowed.
Ranked Contests are a weekly chance to compete alongside photographers of a similar Leaderboard ranking. Three contests with the same theme run at one time - for photographers ranked 1-250; 251-1000; and 1001+. They open Saturday morning after that week’s leaderboard has been updated, and are open for 5 days. They are Premium Contests, Expert-judged, but with no Crowd vote, so are worth 3x the standard ranking points.
This contest is expert judged only with no rating by the crowd. You will be able to find out how you did when the judging or rating period has closed.
