Portraits

pageBreak.png

Thursday's theme is all about Portraits. They can be candid portraits, studio portraits, basically any type of portrait photo you want to showcase. So what is a portrait? It is more than just a photo of someone. It is supposed to give some insight about the person and tell a bit about who that person is, what their interests are, or the mood they are feeling. Get creative with your shots. Portraits can be a lot of fun for both the photographer and the one being photographed.

How is the Deranged Photography Contest set up?

The contest is broken up into three different tiers. Each will have a different rewards for the winners based on what tier you enter into. The @derangedcontest account has large stake in both CCC and PHOTO and rewards the winners with votes in those tokens. To see those rewards, you will either need to log into https://www.creativecoin.xyz/, https://www.photostreem.com/, or https://steem-engine.com/.

Here is a breakdown of the rewards based on the tiers:

  • Wednesday - Wildlife
  • Thursday - Portraits
  • Friday - Food
  • Saturday - Black and White

How to enter

pageBreak.png

When you enter a photo in the competition, you will state what tier you want to be judged in and locked in for the month at that level.

For example if you enter a photo, you drop the photo in the comment section, state what level of photographer you are, and then give a description of the photograph.

That's pretty much it, drop a photo in the comment section of this post and state your tier. If you want to make a separate post for your entry as well, that is fine, but for your entry to be valid, your photo and tier must be in here in the comment section of this post. If you do make a separate post, be sure to use the #photography and #creativecoin tags.

Additional Notes

pageBreak.png

  • Only one submission per contest. Extra submissions will be ignored.

  • You can switch your tier ONE time per month, but only if you are moving up into a higher tier, for example if you are currently in the amateur tier, but you think that you have a photograph that you want to enter in the professional tier, you can state that you are changing your tier to professional. You will then be locked into the new tier for the remainder of the month. You are not able to move down to a lower tier, like going from amateur to the beginner tier.

  • If you do not state which tier you want to be judged in for the month, I will leave a comment to remind you to do so, but if you don't respond, you will be assigned to a tier and locked in for that month.

  • Plagiarism will not be tolerated in any form. All submissions must be your own work. I will investigate every entry and if you are caught plagiarizing, not only will you be blacklisted from competing from any future contests, but you will be reported to @steemcleaners as well. It is not worth it to try and cheat, especially with the 3 tier set up where everyone has an equal shot of winning.

Thank you to everyone that will be participating. The contest wouldn't be around without your great submissions!

Here's my submission for this week
Tier - Pro

This was a shot of mime artist Tape Face which was created in my sitting room with some old Bowens lights and a speedlite through modifiers.

I loved watching Tape Face on AGT. Last time I was in Vegas, I tried to get tickets to his show. That is awesome that you were able to photograph him. He is an amazing entertainer.

I've been fortunate enough to work with him a few times over the past few years. During this shoot, there was a pile of my flatmates Nerf collection behind me, which inspired Tape Face to incorporate one into his show. A year later we were both at an event and he dragged me over to his bag to show me his Nerf Blaster which he uses in his show due to seeing them in my house.

That is so awesome! Did he talk to you? That would be cool to be able to say that you have actually had a real conversation with him since not many people can say that, lol.

We have talked many times. He only wears it onstage or for photos when meeting fans etc.
