Photo contests could substantiate your photography resume . If you’ve been sharpening up your work, it may be time for the National Geographic photo contest. That’s right, this is the big time. Nothing complements an image (or a photographer) better than to say (or hear) “That should be in National Geographic”.
Get critiques and feedback online and get the skinny on what kind of photography “survey says” you are best at. Concentrate on those market and promotion sources for revenue. Bring on the marketing plan and schedule long and short term goals. A short term goal might be one style and beauty image sold, and a long term goals might be a monetary figure for overall sales total in cash.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but fashion is in the eye of the crowd. Fashion photography and fashion markets demand a lot of image volume of high quality and big concept appeal. But while photo spreads for fashion layouts take place before publication, there is a little known fact about fashion and textiles: the calender is always at least two seasons in advance.
Randomly at PHIXR.com I selected a sepia tone effect, knowing this was not the ideal picture for that effect. Imagine my surprise when I got a clean white image presented. The whitewash effect that transformed the photo stunned me. I’ll remember this next time I need pure white finish in a image file. The delicate cream white presentation made the wicker look more genteel and Victorian than any lens setting I could ever manage.
If you think manipulating images and editing photos is all strict business, time to loosen up. having a backlog of images of friends, family, and hated co-workers and childhood nemeses can be a therapeutic tool for laughter and prankish photography glee anytime.
