Emotions
~
Emotions are what make us human, you can be happy, sad, angry, confused and a whole number of others all at once. This challenge is to capture an emotion, shown through a still image.
Think about how you can change the environment or setting to suit the atmosphere, as well as color and tone. Maybe even experiment with emotions that aren’t usually captured as well.
Please add #UNSWPCEMOTIONS to the description of your submission.
Some Tips and Hints from Our Judges
1. A good and strong photograph usually does not need a title or caption to ‘tell’ us what’s going on in the photograph.
2. Think about what you want to convey in the photo. Take into consideration the composition and framing of your photo.
3. Think about the various techniques you can use, such as playing with lighting or textures.
4. Think outside of the box. This month’s theme allows you to be creative and push the boundaries.
We want to see you submit a photo(s) which reflects our monthly challenges. We will judge entries based not only on this criteria, but also on other photographic components.
Only have a phone? No Problem!
We don’t care what device you use. Know its limitations and work within the confines.

However, all are welcome to submit.
The judging panel will try to be as fair and independent as possible when judging all entries. It is a condition of entry into the competition that all participants accept the final outcome.
