The Stories We Tell

This challenge closed about 3 years ago.

The Challenge

Some say the best portraits tell a story, with interaction between the photographer and subject. This can be as simple as expression in the eyes or interaction between the subject/s and their environment.

Your challenge is to tell a story through your portrait that causes the viewer to stop a moment and look deeper at the image to reveal more of the story you are telling through image alone.

Image must have been created after today’s date

Judging / Voting Criteria

Does the image tell a story?
Is the image quality high?
Does the use of environment and lighting help to create a dramatic feeling?
Does the photograph make you feel something for the subject/s?

Rewards & Prizes

Winning image will feature on the home page and become the group avatar for the next month

Additional Information

Entries are accepted for two weeks from today, followed by two weeks of voting.
