Dear Steemians,
I'm an active participant of our wonderful Steemit community for more than a year now & still didn't encounter neither a single self-portrait photo contest! I am very familiar with the thing that the photographers, as being one myself for more than 15 years, are not really happy with being on the other side of the camera - playing the role of a model! It's not a general thing, but many of us do have a problem with being a model & confronting with the camera...
So, I decided to create a contest in which you will need to be creative & make self-portraits & not in that common way as the trendy "selfies" but in a high quality way partly describing yourself & your way of life. Every each of us has many different roles to play in life: worker, sportsman, soldier, writer, driver, lover, husband, father, wife, artist, model, waitress, lawyer, dancer, actress, scientist, doctor, singer, musician... or some kind of an imaginary character - somebody who you would like to be... There is plenty of inspiration for the theme!
Nudes are also very appreciated & welcomed as well as the conceptual & art photography.
Photo can be full color, b&w & monochrome tones.
This is the first week & I hope that it will last for many weeks in the future!
How to apply for the contest:
Create a high quality shot of yourself - a self-portrait which presents you & your way of life or what you would like to be.
Ad a short story / explanation / description to the photo.
Photos must be your original work as well as the text following!
Use a #self-portrait tag as one of your tags in the post.
