We’re bringing back our monthly photo competition — and we’re kicking off with a theme we absolutely love: Portraits!

Whether it’s a candid shot of a friend, a striking self-portrait, or a creative studio-style image — we want to see how you capture character, mood, and story through a face.

🗓 Deadline to enter: Saturday 31st of May

🎁 Prize: “52 Assignments: Portrait Photography” by Brian Lloyd Duckett

📩 Submit up to 3 images to: [email protected]

Please remember to name your images! e.g. john-smith-1.jpg

We’ll showcase a selection of standout entries and announce the winner shortly after the deadline.
