3369. Photography: Secrets to impress street art judges - Digital Photographer Issue 207

Dec 12, 2018




1. Differences in content, technique, composition and tone and sometimes less subtle.
2. Bad composition, weak subject selection, misunderstanding of the rules of composition
3. Your entry needs to be relatable to the judges in some way to grab their attention. No point having personal attachment to an image that has no special meaning to anyone else.

4. Originality is important. Avoid cliches. A street image's well-seen moment executed in  thoughtful way overrides any technical hitches.

Submissions that elicit a visceral, emotional response make a lasting impact. 'Standout' does not mean in your face. Some original resonate with the judges.

5. A tip regarding title. Can put viewers off or invite them in. Best to title your works "untitled" or give location and date as title. Judges don't like obvious titles. Allow viewer to form their personal narrative can help you get one step ahead.

6. Keep editing subtle. No colour filters, HDR or spot colouring. These are a big photo judging turn-off

7. Simplest things that are being expressed are the best.
