Round 4 is open for entries
So far, we have asked for your best beauty, character and environmental portraits. For round 4, the final round in the Profoto Portrait Challenge, we are asking for your best self portraits. Howyou approach this subject is entirely up to you but, as this is a portrait challenge, a simple selfie taken on your phone is unlikely to cut themustard.
You need to think about the context, lighting, pose and treatment and show the judges your creative vision. You can enter up to three images (these images will be judged as individual shots, not as a set) and can be shot indoors or out, with or without flash. Each roundwinner will receive a Profoto Collapsible Reflector Large and oncewe
have our four roundwinners, an overall winner will be selected from thosewinners and awarded the Profoto A1, the smallest studio light in theworld. The closing date for Round 4 is 11.59pm, 31 August 2018 and results will appear in Photography News issue 59 due out from 10 September 2018. Judgingwill be done by experts fromPN and Profoto.
