Sections

The competition is in digital images and includes 5 sections :

“Open monochrome”
monochrome only

All techniques are allowed. Creativity is allowed in this category. The images must be monochrome, and correspond to the PSA and FIAP : See definition of “Open” Monochrome photography (section 13.1) in the Salon Rules

“Backlighting”
monochrome only

For the submitted images, the light source must be behind the person, object or whatever is the subject of the photograph.  In other words, the light (whether natural or artificial)  is opposite the photographer and the subject is lit up from behind.  Play around with light, shadow, contrast.

This section is a Monochrome section and COLOR IMAGES are NOT allowed in that section.

“Open color”
color only – monochrome not allowed

All techniques are allowed. Creativity is allowed in this category.

An important remark is that MONOCHROME IMAGES are NOT allowed in that section. See definition of “Open Color” section in the Salon Rules

“Rainy days”
color only – monochrome not allowed

Bring out your raincoats and umbrellas!  We will be looking for images of falling rain, from a few drops to a real downpour, as well as the traces left by rain on streets, cars, plants, etc. Subjects may include drenched passers-by, children playing in a puddle, raindrops on windows revealing a barely visible landscape or streetscape beyond.  The possibilities are endless, and may involve everything from the use of wide angle lenses to macrophotography.

An important remark is that MONOCHROME IMAGES are NOT allowed in that section.

Sign Language
color only – monochrome not allowed

On the ground, walls, or on signboards; in streets, stations, subways, shopping centers, museums, hospitals … signs are all around us.  They show us the way, tempt us, forbid us….  Make use of the graphic nature of signage with its repetitions, its contradictions, or its connection to the surrounding environment. Obviously signs must be a key element in your composition.

An important remark is that MONOCHROME IMAGES are NOT allowed in that section.
