Guess who gets to be the guest judge for @jasonrussell's Steemit photography competition?
You know, the super awesome #PortraitContest?
Spoiler alert: it's me! And it's an honor :)
I've only been a member of the Steemit community for a short time now (about four months) so I'm a relative noob. But I found #PortraitContest right off the bat, and have been joining in the fun with each different theme of the contest. I'm happy to say, in that short time, I've received a handful of Honorable Mentions, two Third Places, and a First Place recognition.
As the guest judge, I was given the opportunity to select the theme.
How exciting!
I chose to ask the community to share with us their best and greatest portraits of men. That's right, guys. Dudes. As a professional photographer for over ten years now, I know the lovely ladies so often get to steal the show. Here's my chance to turn up the testosterone around here, if only for one week ;)
Interpret the theme however you like: natural light or carefully crafted studio lighting; posed or candid; color or black-and-white; telephoto or wide-angle. Share your best beautifully detailed headshot, or share your favorite image capturing your subject small in the frame. Let's take a look at the masculine side of things :)
Here's one of my favorite portraits of a man: my sweet fiancé @evdoggformayor.
I'll share MANY more over the course of the contest, so be sure to check back!
Also, anybody want to reverse engineer the lighting? Anybody curious or nah? I love to geek out about lighting, so let me know if you'd like me to shed some light on it :P
