People in Negative Space - Entries Needed

October 21st, 2021
UPDATE: THIS CHALLENGE, DESCRIBED BELOW, IS ENDING IN A FEW DAYS. WE HAVE ONLY 2 ENTRIES MEANING I DID NOT DO MY JOB WITH DESIGNATING THE TOPIC FOR THE CHALLENGE. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE MORE ENTRIES, ENDING AT 5 P.M. ON OCTOBER 22.

Hi, thank you to all who chose my image of Marcus the jazz drummer as the winner of the last People challenge. I keep a photography blog (Victoria's Light, Wordpress), and as I scrolled through the posts a few days ago, the fact of naturally gravitating to portraits is clear. This is not something I was comfortable doing when the photography deep dive began in 2009. In fact, being an introvert, I was terrified of the process. Somehow, the fear evaporated. The portraits show the lifting of my fears. In my view, a portrait says as much about the photographer as it does about the subject. Onto this challenge. I like portraits that have negative space. Often, the use of black and white is preferred, but color works too. Here is an image I recently posted that demonstrates the style. I look forward to seeing your work. Have fun with it.



Tag your images as follows: People-N-Space. The challenge will remain open until October 22, 2021 at 5 p.m. United States EST.

@kali66 @farmreporter @joysabin Thanks, it will keep the people portrait thing alive. The existing entries are a bit off the mark.

@kali66 @joysabin @joysabin It is my error, I sometimes make challenges too obscure or inaccessible.
