Before entering, PLEASE read the brief and check out the famous original here, at the Magnum website. Taken in Paris in 1932, “Behind the Gare St. Lazare” is one of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s most iconic photos. For this challenge, we want images inspired by this classic shot. Whether you want to replicate it or put your own spin on it, your entry should be reminiscent of Cartier-Bresson's original. This is a great opportunity to get out, shoot new work, and be creative!
The expert's winner and the crowd's winner will both receive a copy of Henri Cartier-Bresson's Europeans
The expert's winner and the crowd's winner will both receive a copy of Henri Cartier-Bresson's Europeans (Thames & Hudson 1999). The highest placed entries will appear on Photocrowd's 'Best images' and social media channels.
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.
