Thought for the day: If you ran the circus…
I mean if you ran photo contests, what categories would you have?
PSA (Photographic Society of America) and many clubs and photo clubs use the following categories:
- Pictorial
- Monochromatic (Picture in Black and White)
- Nature (not landscape)
- Travel
- Photojournalism
If you ask the average photographer (not in a club) or person on the street that might pick what they think is most important as
- Landscape
- Portrait
- Street
- Architecture
- Night
Note that there isn’t a direct map from one of these groups to the other. Why the variance?
What five categories would you choose?
