Use dramatic lighting to set a mood for your portrait photographs of people. Using a side light, overhead light, back light or multiple lights to create mood and emotion is what you should submit. Images with dramatic natural light, ambient light, studio lighting or any combination thereof are all welcome. Creative use of gels, shadows, and reflections are all welcome in this contest. Entries can be in colour or black and white.
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.
