This is one of the most incredible opportunities for our photography students. DO NOT pass this one up!
"These awards are open to photographers at all levels of experience, and all genres of portraiture are welcome — from professional studio shoots, to detailed environmental portraits, to casual candids. We’re open to all types of artistic approaches, too, including staged, fiction, fashion, metaphoric, self-portrait and conceptual work."
The 9th annual LensCulture Portrait Awards
are now open for entries! Over the years, we’ve discovered and
recognized more than 250 excellent portrait photographers from all over
the world — and many of them have continued to advance their careers
with international magazines and media, museums, book publishers and art
galleries.
This year, we aim to discover and reward 35 photographers who are making exceptional photographic portraits today.
Winners
will enjoy career-changing opportunities including an exhibition in
Paris, extensive media coverage, cash prizes and more. Scroll down to
meet our expert international jury and read about our free entry option for single image submissions.
Whether your portraits are traditional or eclectic, quirky or visionary — we want to see your work!
