When it comes to portrait photography, lighting is everything - just ask selfie queen Kim Kardashian who said that, well, "Lighting is everything". A camera's flash can sometimes be quite harsh, or be seen as a quick fix to fill in natural shadows, but it can achieve some great effects when used thoughtfully and in the right contexts. Focus on getting a strong, balanced exposure with your flash and the awesome portraits will follow.

The expert judge's winner and the crowd's winner will both receive $50 store credit at Rocky Nook - one of the world's leading book publishers specialising in photography.
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.
