Brief
In this technical contest, we'd like you to try your hand at backlit portrait photography. Even the most mundane scenes can be transformed by the right lighting, and backlit photos are a great way to bring your subject to life. Photographing someone who is standing directly in front of a light (whether it's the sun or something else) can present a number of technical challenges, primarily relating to exposure. However, don't despair. There are plenty of resources online to give you the confidence to shoot dreamy backlit portraits or silhouettes, and this is an opportunity to learn!
Winners and highly commended finishers will gain LumeJet prizes worth £30, as well as exposure across Photocrowd’s social media channels and on the ‘Best photos’ page.
Prize details
Crowd-voting only: The winner will receive a LumeJet voucher worth over £30 - earning you either a high-quality 1m print or equivalent value products! Winner and high-placed finishers will also gain exposure across Photocrowd’s social media channels and on the ‘Best photos’ page.
Lumejet voucher may be used against any online order and international shipping in a single transaction at lumejet.com within 28 days.
How it works
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.
