INSTAGRAM ME! #DJPCONTEST DEADLINE OCT. 1ST
Hey Gang!
In my career, I have had the opportunity to critique many photographs from all over the world in photo festivals and classroom environments. I am excited to announce my first ever Instagram photo contest. Nothing makes me happier than looking at images and sharing them. The social platform has perfected this ability for all of us and hosting a contest is my way of diving in head first. I am one of three judges and the other judges will be announced in September.
The theme “Show me Your Stuff” is about still life photography that tells your story. Images of things you own like jewelry, childhood keepsakes, mementos, good luck charms or even your favorite coffee mug can tell a story when placed in an environment you are known to dwell in like your vanity, kitchen, front porch or maybe even your favorite tea shop. Take some time to find a few things that are all about you and capture them in a good light with fun compositions. The judges will be looking for an artistically composed image that tell a story about you.
