Round 3 is open for entries

For Round 3, we want your best environmental portrait shots. Just to explain, an environmental portrait is one where you use context and narrative to tell us more about the subject – for example, a mechanic in a garage, a shopkeeper in their shop, a photographer in their studio.

You can enter up to three images (images will be judged as individual shots, not as a set) and the subject can be male or female, shot indoors or out, with or without flash. Each round winner will receive a Profoto Collapsible Reflector Large and once we have our four round

winners, an overall winner will be selected from those winners and awarded the Profoto A1. The closing date for Round 3 is 11.59pm, 3 August 2018 and results will appear in Photography News issue 58 due out from 13 August 2018. Judging will be done by experts from PN and Profoto.
