Portraiture
and photography have been linked since the medium’s inception. What
started with formal family Daguerreotype portraits in the 1840s
developed into a centuries-old fascination with making and looking at
photographs of people — a love that we see translated in the popularity
of this award every year.
The LensCulture Portrait
Awards are open to photographers at all levels of experience and all
interpretations of portraiture. Your work may be made in the studio with
professional lighting or snapped on a smart-phone during your travels,
what matters is not your method but your ability to move your audience.
From quirky self-portraits to candid portrayals of family and friends,
from staged and conceptual photographs of public figures to
environmental portraits, we want to see your work! Winners will enjoy
career-changing opportunities including exhibition in New York in April
2020, extensive media coverage, projection at international photography
festivals, cash prizes and more.
