Enter the CompetitionBring Fashion to Life Through Photography
Fashion photography is about much more than clothing. The strongest images combine styling, lighting, location, posing, composition and atmosphere to create a memorable visual statement.
Whether you're producing an editorial fashion shoot, working in the studio, photographing on location or capturing an unexpected street-style moment, we're looking for photographs that demonstrate creativity and a distinctive photographic vision.
What Are We Looking For?
Your interpretation of fashion is entirely up to you. Here are some ideas to inspire your entry:
Editorial Fashion
Create sophisticated fashion stories inspired by magazines, campaigns and editorial photography. Think about the complete visual concept and how every element works together.
Creative Concepts
Push your imagination further with unusual concepts, imaginative styling, bold compositions, dramatic lighting or unexpected ideas.
Fashion Portraits
Showcase personality, character and style through powerful portraits where the model, styling, expression and environment all contribute to the image.
Studio Style
Explore controlled lighting, creative backgrounds, posing and composition to produce polished and professional fashion imagery.
Street Style
Look for fashion in the real world. Capture distinctive outfits, personalities, locations and spontaneous moments with a strong sense of style.
Think Creatively
Experiment with perspective, movement, colour, texture, reflections, shadows and unconventional compositions to create something distinctive.
