In this contest I would like to see your flat lay still life photos. A flat lay is a collection of objects arranged on a flat surface, photographed from directly overhead. The key to a flat lay is the still life is captured taking the photo from straight up above, not at an angle. The image could show anything from a single or small number of objects carefully positioned in a simple and minimalist style, to dozens of small items, arranged to form a composition of organised chaos. The subject for your still life can be any inanimate objects such as food, clothing, items of stationery, contents of bags or drawers etc, but please no photos of flowers. Images can be in colour or black and white. I look forward to your entries.
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.
