Categories

My Camera and I

Think “camera selfie.” A self-portrait with camera in hand. Use reflective surfaces or even set another camera on a tripod or surface and use a self-timer with just you and your camera as the subjects. Can also be a beauty shot of a unique piece of gear.

Sample images

J.F. Novotny – Me and my Pentax Auto 110

Marie Le Moigne – ELLE que j’appelle JE

My camera in action

We are looking for photos showing photographers and their camera at work . Think context (sports event, nature walk, studio setup), accessories like a tripod and flash, special use of lenses, and interesting positioning you might use to get a great angle of view.

Sample images

Leszek Paradowski – Haunted Photographer

Morgan Liao – Nature versus humans

What’s in my camera bag

Clever and artistic arrangements of cameras, lenses, accessories, filters, even film. Show off what you might carry into the field for nature work, sports work, even astrophotography. Can be inside the bag or arrayed around it. Pay attention to lighting and depth of field.
