Blog #24 - Lens Culture Portrait Award Submission

This is my submission for the Lens Culture Portrait Awards. When looking through all the photos I had taken for this project, this one in particular sticks out to me. It's my favourite image that I have shot. It makes me feel a sense of pride submitting it to an official competition. This is actually also the first submission I have entered and although I doubt I will make it into the final ranks, I believe in my own skills. 

This type of photography is something I would also like to continue pursuing in the future. Both the fashion aspect and the portraiture aspect. I seem to succeed when photographing something I am passionate about, whether it be a story based project or Fashion. 

Here are the guidelines for the submission:

"For the sixth year, the LensCulture Portrait Awards 2019 are searching the globe for photographers making the most captivating portraits. 

We’re eager to see innovative new approaches as well as stunning traditional work — from quirky self-portraits to creative portrayals of family, friends, groups and ordinary people around the world. These Awards are open to all people and all interpretations of portraiture, whether made in a studio with professional lighting or a smart-phone portrait from your travels.

This is the year to share your best portrait with the world and engage with the global photography community!

Submit your most compelling portraits or portrait series for the opportunity to be exhibited at Aperture Gallery in New York. Access career-launching exposure and have your work seen by industry experts."
