Artificial light is lighting produced by a non-natural source such as a studio strobe, LED light or a camera's flash. Using artificial light means you don't have to rely on the weather or availability of sunlight, and gives you far more freedom in controlling every aspect of your shoot. Some photographers prefer artificial light and some find it a hassle. Either way, it's a good technique to get to grips with. Good luck!

Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
